Angry Problem after Problem after LT Install

Hey guys I posted a thread about 2 weeks ago saying that i had problems with major codes and Loud *** Backfiring? these r some of the problems that i have run into and parts that i have bought to "fix" the problems but it seems like when i buy one part to fix it it backfires gets louder and pisses me off more and more, first of all we have a OBII scanner to tell us exactly where the problems r at, first it was a cylinder 4 misfire, checked all the plugs and tested the plugs and everything, that problem goes away for a while then the evapae Solinoid fucked up so i buy a brand new one thinking it would fix my backfiring problem, NOPE. the codes does go away for a while 2 but it still backfired, then i bought the o2 extenders because the scanner was showing a problem with Bank 1 so we install those, Problems r still there and the previous codes for evape and cyclyder 4 misfire show up again, and now the scanner shows that my Map sensor is fucked up and not reading right or i have a vacuum leak , Help me out Fellas Plz

Are sure you have your O2 wires hooked up right? I've seen people hook them up wrong and that will make the car backfire and throw codes.

Yea im pretty sure that they r hooked up right, the problem with the backfiring started right after the LT Header Install which was about 2 weeeks ago im probly going to buy a new o2 sensor since it was reading very low 7-8 range
