check your wires, i put brand new wires on and two days later it burned on the EGR pipe. Also, your coil might be going bad.

with a new one, thinking about scremin demon one. I will take a look at the plugs wires
also.

make sure u have the plug wires hooked up with the right plugs and coil. if u have crossed a wire it will cause the car to sound like its missing

screaming demon requires different spark plug wires, so if your coil is going bad, id rather spend 60 on a new oem coil than 200 on screamin demon and new wires. Try seafoam too. Maybe your injector is clogged.

what we are asking is if u put on the wires in the right spots. its very easy to mix it up, especially on the driver side.

Took the old wires off one at a time. Then replace the MSD wires and started with the
longest wire to shortest wire. I hope that makes any sense.

i kinda understand. just might wanna check it. make sure u have the right wire running from the right plug to the right coil. if thats not ur problem, check ur plugs, make sure they are all clean.
