Bouncing Idle!?

ok i posted something close to this recently but since i have routed the wires on both sides correctly thru the looms and down to the opti...everything is connected fine...i installed NGK plugs and taylor OVC wires run over the valve cover obviously, with stock manifolds..so they are probably getting hot...wen i did this, i also replaced the coil, but have not replaced the coil wire yet...and i have fire sleeving over the wires to protect them. When i start my car up and the engine is cold it seems to be normal, but when the engine heats up, my rpm gauge fluctuates up and down noticibly, and there is a little bit of power loss and in the lower rpms in each gear there seems to be a little bit of tugging before it accelerates like normal...i dont understand this problem but think it might be due to leaving the old coil wire on that might not be delivering a sufficient spark to the opti...please help because i would love to have my car running powerful like normal considering i have had this problem for maybe a month now and it has improved since re-routing the wires thru looms(maybe reducing the heat soaking), and also since i put in a new coil..any info is greatly appreciated!!! just wanna get my formula back up and running strong!

Re: Weird Idle!!

Sorry Khojo16...
I see you asking for help and none seems to be forthcomming. I wish I could help you but I'm not a "Techie" like some of the fellas are. If she ran fine before you started...then it has to be something you changed...or possibly disconnected...and didn't get back right. I hope somebody steps in here soon and gives you a hand..
Drive On !!...

Re: Weird Idle!!

thanks!!! it just seems to me taht since i put in all new taylor wires for all 8 plugs...and didnt change the coil wire with a taylor wire as well...so maybe the stock 7mm wire isnt givin enough spark to my opti and then back out to the 8mm taylor wires i have goin to the plugs...i have no idea...it seemed to run a little steadier once i changed the coil and put fire sleeving on my wires...so hopefully the coil wire change will b the final peice of my problem...thanks tho fred!!
