And could the spark plugs cause it to idle up and down between half and a grand and a half and sometimes die

from what i've read, if you don't have o2 sensors or a faulty o2 sensor, your car can and probably will run like crap. also, if you burned a plug wire, that would cause a misfire, lol.

well done alot of tune up work today changing plugs in a lt1 with headers is such a pain but well worth it found that two of my spark plug wires were touching the headers and had burnt through so it was like driving a v6 but now the car is so much more powerful and sounds strong and healthy like it was supposed to jus glad it was something simple oh yea after puttin em in went down the road it blew the ignition fuse replaced it and now its fine but anyone know y it would blow that fuse? thanks for everybodies comments in this matter glad to see other people appreciate american muscle!!!
