Wheni drive the exhaust pops and it stalls out.! Possibly because I may ha e put a wrong spark plug wire. I thought all the wires are the same as long as it is long enuff. Are they all the se am just different wires

 

You probably crossed one.

 

firing order needs to be checked. Also be sure that you have proper connections at the plugs and the distributor. The boots on plug wires can be a pain. (New or old)

 

Careful with what people still call plug "wires", If I had to make a comparison, it's like calling compressed particle board "wood", mess with enough and it falls apart. Today's "wires" are made of compressed carbon particles and will break down the more you pull, twist, and bend them. I call them "carbon plug cables" and I change them when I change plugs.

 

dont seem to me it would stall out cuz of crossed wire. are u sure u didnt accidently unplugged a vacuum line?

 

When I crossed number 5 and 3 my car would drop down to around 300 rpm when I let off at low speeds like it was going to die and would stumble when i first gave it fuel. That was also with open headers and no 02 sensor hooked up to.

 

I actually did my firing order wrong! It still stalls out though and it's t the shop. He said possibly the timing and need tune up. Makes sense idle was rough before it started stalling out. It's 22 years old . What does be mean by the timing? Idid the plugs the wires. A fuel filter the oil and filter and the air filter. I felt like a real man under the hood.

 

Check for vacume leaks?

 

If it idles rough, misses consistently while driving and we're talking about a TPI motor. I would just about bet anything you have an injector problem.

 

didnt know it was tpi. is it throwing any codes?
