Every time i let my car sit for bout an hr or so, I will go to start it, It will start fine and go to idle then it will start to miss fire real bad and when i go to take off it will cut out on me until i hit high rpms. It has not died.
So far i have changed the fuel filter,spark plugs and wires,coil,injectors, Also when i changed the injectors it had real bad carbon build up on the old ones and in there holes i tryed to clean them the best i could.
It seems as if the car was not getting enough air and or fuel. I do have a aftermarket exhaust on it and one of the o2's is not working. I also have the racing plug wires 8mm. can you help me please i have been at the same problem for months now.

Hi Lude96,

I would suggest checking the main relay first, it is known to cause intermittent stopping of the fuel pump operations.

I was wondering if it could be the distribter. because it also back fires every now and then? I was told it could be the distribter, I am checking the relay at the moment. And thank your for everything so far.
