Time for a new ignition coil ?
So I finished up the plug wires....my old ones were arching. I thought that would take care of the problem with the car but it didn't.
Here's whats going on. Its a 96 Z28.
It cuts out when accelerating only sometimes....randomly.
Plus it seems to have a funny smell after starting the engine....Like a flooded smell....Then again it does have off road headers and an ORY and a SLP Loudmouth I.
And it idles rough some times randomly. I was doing some searching on google just now and found some other people with the same problem I am having, and they were talking about the coil.
So I'm thinking about putting a new coil and wire on the car.
I was wondering if anyone has some instructions or a step guide to doing this.
It doesn't look too terribly bad...but I guess you never know.

I just put the 02 sensors in. They are new.
I scanned it for codes and I had the following:
1. MAF
2. Skip Shift
3. EGR
The car has the skip shift eliminated, I didn't re use the EGR system because the headers are off road. The MAF I'm not sure why....So I bought a new one from GM.
I haven't checked the fuel pressure though.
But when it cuts out you can hear it cutting out....
How do you check the fuel pressure ?
