Hey there, I just put new plugs and wires into my 97 GST and now it won't idle right... I gapped the plugs correctly and checked the firing order and it turns out what I had on it before I changed the plugs was incorrect even though it ran fine... so I tried the original firing order and it idles super low 800-300 rpms then dips to 100rpms and slowly creeps back up to 1000 when I put the clutch in after driving a few feet. I switched over to the recomended firing order and the problem persists.... except it idles kinda rough.... It ran just fine before the plugs so IDK why its doing this

Please continue on you previous thread. You have posted three different threads about your car not running right after putting in new spark plugs. All the last two days.
 
Make sure all your vacuum hoses are still connected right. Also check every electrical plug for connection. Have you tried to drive it anymore than a few feet?

Yea... So it would work for a few minutes then dips on my driveway so I thought screw it, lugged it to my Nissan buddy's place cause he's used to stuff not working right and by the time I got there it ran fine.... idk someone on The Internet told me that when you install new plugs and pull the battery you have to drive for like 15 minutes before the computer can relearn the idle... Sounds weird but it worked
