Thanks guys this is alot of good info.

did you replace your O2 sensors ?


No, I didn't I had just cleaned them from the exhaust build up when I installed my header but never cleaned them with gas or anything. Will probably change them later, won't hurt.

What is your MPG?


I really don't know.

How hard was it to get the two discolored plugs out?


If I remember right they came out like normal plugs would.

Still waiting on my parts but I'll probably take a look at the distributor tomorrow.

Cmon bud at this point in time you should figure out your MPG. It will give you a good indication if you need new sensors.

Next time you get gas, reset the trip odometer. Next time you get gas, take your trip odo mileage, and divide that by the amount of gallons you put in the car, then, post up.

Oh yeah I said I had a stocked out ST but I also have straight through muffler and NGK iridium spark plugs, this is also a reason I'm wondering why I'm losing so much power. I Probably have like 50 hp now LOL.


Spark plugs gapped right? Never trust them to be gapped properly out of the box.

I actually thought about that but my problem started before I got my plugs but I think thats drawing into it also since when I was trying to gap them the fine tip only ate into the gapper I had.

And I am going to have to replace my distributor, the copper wire from, the pick up coil untangled itself after I had cleaned the inside of the distributor out and turned the car back on. I'll have to give y'all a pic for a better visual.

Here are the pics. I don't think I did all this damage just with compressed air only if they are that sensitive either way it's being replaced, hopefully tomorrow. Maybe it will fix alot of my problems.
