miss or something when hot

here we go......

i have a 1991 z 28 with auto and a vortec tpi crate engine from scroggin dickie. the engine has been running fine until about a week ago. for some reason after it warms up now it kind of stutters or misses. it is almost like a miss fire. only does it after it warms up.

the plug wires are lifetime guarenteed racing wires about the size of your finger.

the distributor is the original with a new rotor and cap. it has about 140k on it and i am planning to replace it SOON.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

ok, thought i had it but no luck. i found the ground wire for the coil had come loose. after tightening it i still have the problem and it seems to be getting worse. it stumbles real bad after getting warm now.

i was wonderig if a bad o2 sensor could have this effect since it runs great til it warms up.

any body wanna take a wag?
