    A little problem?

    Im trying to figure this out, ever since my lt install i've had a miss at low rpms like sitting at a stop light or driving slow through a parking lot the car sometimes backfires!!!! So changing the plugs an wires didn't help. So what hell could this be?

    no SES light I would say a tune, you're making more power now so the engine needs to know precisely how to handle it. Hows it run @ WOT?

    Howd you find it? Multimeter, or took it in for a diag?

    wouldnt a coil throw a code? or cause a misfire at least
