    Thats pretty much what my car does to griffin. Could that cat still be clogged in my vacuum gauge is reading normal-around 20? And would it not have power all the time cold or hot if the cat was clogged? thats what I thought but could be wrong

    Is it required that I'm rude for you to listen to me? If you'd like I can be a total ahole and while it'll get me plenty of likes, it's not really my preferred style.

    I suggested wires on the O2 because I'm a retard and was guessing wildly in the air, definately wasn't experience.

    I also said you had KR, because I explained goes on and why it does.

    So would you rather I write like the above, leave your thread alone or help you solve the issues in a nice manner? Because.. yes... very likely I know the solution. It's just a matter of you answering the right questions for us to solve this and your car will be a happy camper again.

    I have answered your questions but I will once again. #4 wire wasn't touching anything but like I said #6 wire was touching the o2. I pulled the wire away from the o2 and still have the same problem. What I don't understand is how I'm getting KR

    You mention you scanned timing. How about KR?
    What plugs did you put in? Looking for brand and type, for example Bosch double platinum.
    What brand of wires?

    Which..is about the most common issue in our cars.

    I can't scan KR. I have 7mm Duralast plug wires and I'm using E3 Plugs

    Fixed my problem. It was getting false knock. I had the car on the lift to do control arm bushings and noticed a wire resting on the axle. Followed the wire and it went to the knock sensor on the back side of the engine. The axle worn through the plastic down to the copper wire inside. I fixed the wire and put it up out of the way. Car has the power it used to again

    Never heard a good thing about Champion... anything.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I noticed a little better fuel mileage after I put the E3 plugs in. Thats what they advertise but it wasn't a significant amount but noticable
