Please need some help!!
Hello everyone I am so stumped, I just installed a new set of pacesetter mid's over last weekend, an adventure it self, anyways during the installation the little nub on the EGR sheared off. We didn't think to much off it and continued to remove the stock manifolds, since we were right there threw in some new plugs and wires. Put everything back together would not start. We were both tired anyways next morning fired right up. Installed the Y-pipe and bolted up a small section of pipe were my cat used to be. After everything is completed I look in the box and my buddy forgot to put the gasket on portion of the EGR tube that connects to the header! First test drive, cars running like shit! I double checked everything like ten times over. Firing order, plug wires, plugs, replaced both 02 sensors at the headers. I had it scanned with an Actron CP9145 as my 1995 TA has the OBDII hook up with the OBD PCM, one stupid code about my AC. Could not get one freakin' blot tight on the Y-pipe, took it into a muffler shop the cranked it down for me no problem. I was hoping that would solve the exhaust leak issue, well it didn't. Took the car on the freeway and was being passed by shitty ass Omni's it was so slow and unresponsive. When I did the tune up I did not touch the opti just figured I would leave well enough alone. Can someone reply with some advice as I feel like smashing the car with a hammer. I think its the EGR tube that is causing this.
