OK, I am at a loss here.
Replaced my entire exhaust system, including removing the manifolds and adding a gasket to each side. No leaks, I finally have a quiet car
However,
Early last week I noticed a really bad miss when the motor is cold that only slightly improves once warmed up. I'm talking so bad that it bucks and bounces and almost stalls as I drive down the road until its warm.
I've done a full tuneup - new wires, plugs, air and oil filter, oil change, Rad. flush and t-stat replacement....I can't figure it out.
I have not checked that I am getting spark on all 6 cylinders though, so that is my step this weekend.
Once warm, it drives fine, but misses horribly at idle.
Any ideas? I cleaned the IAC Valve a while back, I really doubt it's dirty again. Can't seem to find any vacuum leaks - I did the "propane trick" to try and find one.
Also, worth noting - when I did the exhaust I replaced both O2 sensors. Now my exhaust smells EXTREMELY rich - to the point I wonder if its flammable....didn't smell like that before the exhaust repair...
