Before I call the shop that tuned my car I figured I'd post here first. Lately my car's been hesitating and popping (slight backfires in header) in low rpms, 2000-3000. As soon as I get past 3000, everythings fine...doesn't seem to be any lose of power. Thinkin I might be running a little rich, but just looking for opinions before I go and mess with things. Any chance O2 sensors could cause anything like this? I plan to change them anyway since they are probably the originals, just wondering though.

Thanks
Dave

Take a look at the plug wires. That's pretty close to what mine was doing.

I know the #3 plug wire was against the header a while back and melted the casing a little but didn't do any real damage. And that happened monthes ago, before I even had it tuned. I just checked it and rewrapped it with electrical tape.

But what was wrong with your plug wires?

The boot was against the header and it managed to burn through. Had to have taken at least six months to happen though. Just burned one wire, as far as I know.
