O2 code, coolant sensor, rev match stopped working.....

Headers are supposed to be hassle free.
Is your car tuned? Or new spark plugs?

You definitely need to get it tuned before driving it anything over about 10% throttle ad even then only to get it to the shop.

You'll need a custom tune, the canned tune on a device wont cut it either, or you could get a hptuners and learn to do it yourself

So I just checked and it is about 2-3 inches from the header, I felt the harness and it doesn't feel like it was burnt or anything. Idk?

I'm definitely going to lean towards that option, their is a guy on YouTube I watch and his car has the same setup with no tune and the dude is making burnouts and what not, ofcourse every car is different but yeah just saying I fully expected it to at least run with a check engine light 😢

Yeah I was going to move the plugs but at the same time they weren't in the way what so ever. I'm about to fire it up and go to autozne which is about 3 miles away and check it out.

UPDATE, drove the car to autozone and they put the diagnostic tool on the car but read no codes... check engine is still NOT ON, but I do notice when I went WOT that it jumps here and there, almost like "wheel hop" I'm going to check the car again for anything touching or what not when it cools down but IT APPEARS it is fine besides the hoping around at WOT but that can obviously be because it needs a tune. But it might have just resolved itself or maybe last night when I pushed in the wires in a little more to hear that snap with the spark plug it fixed it??? I'll check again in a bit

The bogging you are experiencing will be the ecu pulling timing to prevent damage, you are probably running really lean. Its a really bad idea to be driving it like that imo.

Lol he has a video of him doing a burnout, but yeah definitely, their goes my dyno day 😢, really wanted to put it on the dyno to see what it runs with the parts I got, but don't think it's a good idea.

That is strange to hear even with a tune that your having problems 😩.

At least the cars sound nice lol 🤔, well it's raining right now but in a bit I'm going to drive the car around some more, it might be resolving itself but idk? Definitely going in for a tune just looking around for who is available out in the San Antonio / Texas area that I want to take the car to. Also will be buying new plugs today

Problem still ongoing, step on the gas to about 4-5K RPM and get engine cut and cluster turns off and on. Hopefully it's just a tune, any more ideas out their is much appreciated, car will be garaged for now
