First and easiest, would be to check the plug wires, you may have a short.

I was going to say most likely either plugs or leads.

Also, check your coilpack for a hairline crack. Happen to me. Dan@PiloRacing was great to replace free(still in waranty period).

If you still have the OEM coil pak and plug wires, try putting them back on. Just a thought.

OEM stuff is long gone now. Thanks for the suggestion though. What are the best plugs and wires? I have an Alta CAI, 19% pulley, Header and single muffler cat back. Any suggestions..
