ok i was thinking the hose for the opti vent, but your car is a 94 so that can't be it...
um, im out of ideas, the 2 times my car has misfired it was due to a plug wire falling off the opt, and once i even ended up replacing the opti because of that, it wasnt until i got down there that i saw the loose wire (but with 106k on the stock cap and rotor, it was time for a change anyway)

Ok this one is a toughy.
Rained heavily for the past couple of weeks and car started to chug really bad, so first i checked wires/opti
figured opti was going out so just replaced it.
Car runs fine for the first 5 minutes with new opti in it and then after it heats up, the car continues to chug and misfire, throughout the whole RPMs..
Only after it cools down it runs fine for 5 min then it repeats. Checked all wires none seem to be burnt, didnt check plugs yet.
During the chugging/misfiring a SES light comes on but shortly goes off.
any guesses?

Check the ses code that will tell you wtf is up.
I got pwnt tonight, then i realized im lazy. So after everyone left joe came back, retarded the cas and ran the boost up to 21psi without touching the controller. I will have poly mounts in, and its a rematch. I hate excuses
but ill use them because they work better than a broken car.

o2 sensors maybe? FWIW i never got an SES light when my car was misfiring..and it did kind of get worse when the car warmed up, it was either the cap and rotor itself or a loose wire on there

Everyone must still be sleeping. Man I wish I was too.
Where has everyone been. I have noticed Josh hasn't been on all weekend. Vette Chris hasn't posted in awhile. Jon hasn't either. How depressing.
