    So just got my car back after 3 weeks (having my engine replaces and put on a vs cam and headers) and when i slightly even go WOT every couple thousand RPMs it starts to hesitate...... im gonna try cleaning the MAF and just for background info i have no cat now and my rear o2 sensor is no longer there i believe they put a simulator in or just filled in the hole i have to ask tomorrow but do you guys have any other ideas?

    rear o2 wont make a difference. it would just throw a code to say your cat sucks.

    a scan would REALLY help out here.

    Have ever heard about the issues with the '02 and up GP's? They have something programmed into the PCM to where if you try to delete the rear o2 then you will have issues...crappy MPG's, other issues...there is a thread about it...somewhere...

    Its 01 on up and I ended up having to write a 2000 .bin to my car to get rid of the problem, gas mileage suffered but it didnt make the car hesitate, just ran rich.

    well got it read and it is ...... a random misfire .... W..T...F new plugs and wires are recently new im praying its not coils and not the module but what else would it be grrrr but funny thing is 02 sensor code didnt pop up i think they put a simulator cause my gas mileage is still at 25 mpg

    And with the PCM i have even though i know it doesnt have the greatest rep around here do you guys think it already compensates for the o2 and than the no cat ?

    Umm...didn't that just happen to someone on here and...poof?

    Are they new plug wires too? I'd still check the coil packs and see...OH...you might check the bolt going into the bottom of the coil pack. Mine was loose when I installed my rockers. Took it out for a drive and I thought my car blew up. Nope...just not tight haha

    a FLASHING misfire is more than a random misfire. that means it is hardcore knocking on at least one cylinder. which cylinder did it say it was on?

    have you had any kind of tuning for the cam yet?

    when i read the code it said multiple cylinder misfire, so it would make sense if the coils werent tightened down all the way and no i have no had a tune yet just got the car today but there is a group meeting here on sat and one of the guys does tuning so i was gonna talk to him about it

    why would you go WOT without some sort of tune for a cam? thats ludicrous. do you have any idea where your fueling is or what your timing looks like?
