my car is running really crappy. it started when i ran the straight pipe w/out an o2 sim for 50 miles. it is extremely loud and vibrates and the ses light flashes unless i am idling. i put the o2 simulator in almost 40 miles ago and it is still running the same. when i am idling my oil pressure drops to about 45, but goes back to normal when i give it gas. i could possibly have an exhaust leak at the y pipe, could this be it?

Check the SES light. I believe flashing SES means missfires. Have the code scanned to see what's going on.Matt

i found the problem. a spark plug was partly melted from rubbing on the exhaust manifold and it was sparking against the exhaust where the wires were exposed from the melting. so i wrapped tape around it and it runs alot smoother now, but its still a little rough i assume b/c of the partly burned wire.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/483076\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/483076</a> <br />TSP rumbler, straight pipe, corvette servo. <br />Soon - 3.42+lsd,headers, cai,Comment

Double check and make sure that you don't have any wires on the wrong cylinders.Wife and a dog, they both think they\'re Kujo.<br /> <br />1999 3.8 A4 Y87<br />Navy Blue Metallic<br />BFG G-Force KDWS 275/40/17s, <br />WS6 Wheels (17x9)<br />Phoenix Transmissions 2400 Stall Converter<br />FRA, Holley Powershot filter, Whisper Lid, Ported Throttlebody<br />2000 manifolds, Flowmaster, WS6 Tail Pipes, <br />MSD 8.5mm Wires, MSD Coils, Autolite plugs<br />Performance Cryogenics treated rotors<br />1LE Sway Bars and panhard rod, 1LE front springs w/SLP Bilsteins, stock rear springs w/ 3rd Gen Bilsteins, BMR STB, KBDD SFCs, 1LE rear lower control arms, 1LE front lower control arms<p>1968 Chevelle Malibu 327 TH350Comment
