One thing after another... car is backfiring now leaving work on the way home. had to crank the car over 3 times then it finally starts. driving home feels just super sluggish and car vibrated alot that it would normally. Try to speed up passed 3500rpm and it would just back fire. Limp it home through back streets and park.. then dies. Starts up fine but back fires when i go to rev it. Go figure, about to go on vacation and car wants to do this.

Ugh... same friggin plug is arcing even worse now. I'm just going to replace the damn wires and throw on some boots. Any recommendations for plug wires and boot covers? The one plug that keeps arcing is really close to the header. I can take a pic tomorrow and show you guys what kind of clearance there is. I'm hoping that's it.

Looks like theres cc performance that does the otvc kit. That should solve my burning plug wire problem. Maybe then the impala weill run properly.
