We need some vehicle info... year, 2or4wd? 2or3dr?

Post it in your signature (User CP > Edit Signature) and put it in there, that way you don't have to worry posting it every time.

well it has 149,000 miles on it so about as good as it should but i didnt have the really low idle and it seems to eat a little more gas, but i think thats because it doesnt have power at the low cruising idle and it needs more gas to get going lol idk

Glad it's running better. So many people remove their cat without realizing that modern cats do not restrict the exhaust flow anywhere near the amount that the early ones did. Plus, it's illegal in the U.S.

i changed out the spider like a year or two ago, but i have noticed a miss and was wondering if it could be an injector that quickly or if anyone had any ideas as to why
