bad running car
Ok Here the issue.
The day before I sprayed it the ses light started flashing. It had Misfire detected cyl 3. The car acted very normal so I was confused as of why I did not feel it. That night I installed my 100 wet shot nitrous kit. I used a 47N and a 32F on power shots and a nos fogger.
I went to a long road with no traffic and sprayed her in 2nd gear at 4k RPM's. The car felt bad on the spray like it was missing on a couple cyl. I only sprayed it that gear. After that the car felt bad missing everywhere an running real poor.
The next day I went to work in it. The gas smell was bad, The code now was random misfire detected. I also noticed that the passenger mani was glowing. and the reserve tank of the antifreeze was smoking and bubbling but the temp was normal "the car was off".
Flowing night I removed the spark plug cables to see if any were cut and they all looked normal. I ordered new ones so I should be getting them soon.
Today I took off the fuel rail to see if the injectors were leaking and turned out they were ok. I checked fuel pressure and it was 45 with the motor off "no cables and fuel rail off" I did noticed the fuel pressure would drop after the pump was turned off, not too fast but I could see it fall.
Car has a new Opti, fuel filter, ignition modual and spark plugs.
its a 97 ws6 6 speed with a rebuilt motor "355"
Cliff notes: Car runs very bad, poor gas mileage, allot of gas smell when driving, glowing passenger manifold. All of this right after I sprayed it.

take the plugs out and check them and while they are out time to check compression and leak down, just to verify you are working on a healthy engine and not wasting your time
why would you spray if you knew you had running issues, not a good idea

I did notice my bank 2 air/fuel was loose when I took out the plugs. Do you think that could cause the codes?
