Check your fuel pressure just in case. Have any plug wires laying against the headers?

High chance it could be opti, are you getting coolant on the opti? check your water pump and coolant hoses. Usally acts up if you get moisture in it.

I ran my wires in the stock location and never had any problems with my headers/wires. I had hooker shorties though if that makes a difference.
