misfire well got another problem with the car seems like this car has been nothing but problem since i bought it well here we go i was driving to drop my sons backpack off to him car ran fine had no problem when i get there i left it running went and dropped the backpack talked about a min or 2 when i got back in the car i went to back up and noticed that it was missing when i gave it gas i thought maybe it will clear up but when i got on the highway going home it still missed like crazy but only when i would give it gas not when i would cruise or when it would sit at ideal i have no check engine light or codes at all ive done the plugs and wires about a week and half ago ive changed the iac and tps iat and map sensor the reason i changed the map sensor was because when i would drive it for about a hour or so it would die and i would have to wait a min to start it agian i pulled the codes for that and the map sensor was saying the car was going lean and would kill the car anyways any help would really be nice if i keep having problems with this car im just going to part it out and try to buy another one also when i was looking at the opti when i was under the car it seemed to be pretty new

burnt? you probably didnt run them through the compartment the right way. make sure you run them through correctly or else this will happen almost everytime if not everytime. it was probably the most annoying part for me when replacing the plugs and plug wires. but once you get a method of running them through its fairly easy
