Re: camaros running weird after i put in my headers
how could you lose air? with headers there will be more free flowing air out the exhaust and run alot better. definitely check the wires and the plugs. i have a 91 camaro and i put headers on it and some of the plugs are very hard to get to make sure they are tight and make sure the spark plug wires are all the way on the plugs and not burning against the new headers. i did that a few times

thats great that you found out what it was. you gotta have the o2 sensor it helps with gas mileage.

Nice that it was that simple. That is one reason why I do the work myself. A lot of shops have idiots or people that just rush the job.

Re: camaros running weird after i put in my headers
well i fixed the plug wires and the car runs better but it still feels like somethings wrong might be not having the o2 sensor talking to the computer in the car but its still way better than b4
