Strange Problems!

[1stGenGSX]

ok i searched and couldn't find anything like whats happening to me. I went out to change the tranny fluid to synchromesh (workes awesome now!!!) and after doing that checked for boost leaks. well i had one at the intercooler pipe that comes off the turbo and goes down to the intercooler, right where the metal flange hooks to the turbo. well someone had put one of the metal line holders UNDER the flange instead of on top, and it blew out a piece of the gasket...got a new gasket put it on, car misfires at idle a lot, barely at all when going down the road or accelerating..just enough to hardly notice it. now it didn't do this before, the only thing i did was replace that gasket, all vaccum lines and everything hooked up the same, nothings different at all. checked ecu, mas, tps, bps..everything but the 02 sensor. if anyone can help i'd appreciate it!

I had a problem simialar to this on my 2g before and replacing the o2 sensor seemed to solve it for me. But checking the plugs and wires should be done to make sure that nothing is fouling out.

forgot to mention that, i checked the plugs and wires nothing going on there, they've only been on the car about 5k. its just so weird that it was fine before fixing the leak and changing the trans fluid, and then after i got the misfire at idle, and a very slight one while driving at normal speeds. my dads friend is going to take a look at it for me tomorrow, he's be a mechanic for chrysler for like 15 years so i know he has some experience with these cars.

still can't find anything, rechecked everything. going to try new wires and plugs just in case.

 

[1stGenGSX]

well tried new plugs and wires, problems still there! ANYONE have any idea?

bump
anyone have anything similar happen, and if so what did you do to fix it?

Check all of your couplers,hose clamps, and gaskets and make sure everything is tight because it seems like it now could only be a vacuum leak. Look for holes or cracking in those areas. If you have the stock lower ic pipe check for cracking there.
