OK so here is how it goes, 2 weeks and some change ago I put Mac L/Ts on and completed the install, now during the install I have replaced the spark plugs. Now I have noticed that after wards I had the check engine light on but didnt really notice anything was going wrong until last friday, up to today, here is what she's doing, I start it and everything is fine "except for yesterday it reved to 1500 rpm and stayed for a min or so and then dropped", but after it is started and is on for a min or 2 it starts to lope a little. Now I am off to drive it, there is a popping sound on the passenger side, and it feels like it is running like a V7 so I pop the hood and check around and find the #3 spark plug is loose so I check it and tighten it down. I still have the same problem, so i put one of the old spark plugs in and ... yes still have the same thing going on. I have noticed a small leak coming from the EGR tube by the headers but do think it would do all of this. I am pretty lost here, any suggestions would be a help, sorry for the long post.

longtubes can make the eec funky due to the added distance the o2's are moved down the exh. How do the plugs look as well?

perform a cylinder balance test and see what happens.

It happened again this AM, I started it to warm it up and it held at 1500 rpms, could this be EGR I really dont know, I did break a vaccum hose right under the CAI the green one, maybe thats the problem with the rise of RPM when it is started up.
