ok well got everything together, my hooker LT's along with o2 extensions and my new custom y pipe i had made, well i started to get a ses light, it would come on and off, now my car is idling real ruff at idle, One solution to what i think it is, is when i had my o2 sensor out of my passenger side header, my brothers friend left all my tool and **** outside and it rained...do you think that could cause my bad idle and everything? cause the plugs and wires look fine to me...i reset my pcm and everything...
please help QUICK
randy

 

come on please...i need my car runing....im waiting on you peeps to help me out..

 

if water got all over the o2 sensor, and inside it, it could of screwed it up im guessing, replace it and find out

 

well just replaced it and NOTHING...still the same damn thing?
would i have to get a tune for my pcm since i put LTs on? i wouldnt think i would have too...but for soem reason man it idles like crap and shakes the engine real bad..and i hear popping out of my exhaust...also i put on 2 high flow cats 2.5", but yet my car is a single cat car....
please let me know..

 

Sounds like a crossed plug wire somewhere. LTs wont effect the engine's running like in your situation. The difference is minor

 

no i didnt cross the plug wire, i have the camaro/firebird repair manual...
do you think the cats are causing not enough air to go through?
or what?

 

plug wires crossed

check them for a fifth time

 

Why don't you just read the code that the computer is throwing and go from there. I would double check the wires to make sure nothing is crossed, burned, or not making a good contact with the spark plugs.

I'm pretty sure o2 sensors aren't being used until the car is in closed loop, so if the car runs like crap from the getgo I'd say its ignition related (plugs/ wires)

 

you could have a plug wire resting on one of your LT's ... just a thought

 

well it ran fine last night after everything was done.....now it runs like crap after i got it from the Exhaust shop where they put on my y pipe and 2 cats...you think they put the cats on backwards?

 

If it ran fine last night, then I'd go with it being a burnt plug wire. Make sure none of the wires made contact with the headers

 

i did, checked it 500000 times everythings is clear, only thign that was burned was my cruise control line, and that was ok ..
ne thign else?
and i dunno if the ses light still comes on...

 

the lgiht actually only came on when the car was warm..but now the car is cold and its still doing it

 

Well since there's really no other answers offered, I'd just read the code and see if that sheds any light on the situation.

 

know n e where i can get it scanned?
