delay/misfire?

97 Gst,

my car was throwing a check engine light... took it in to get fixed because i couldnt figure it out. They told me they couldnt figure it out so i went to the internet to start searching. from what i could tell it was the IAC valve.. so i cleaned it and cleaned the throttle body while i was at it and i cleaned the MAF sensor.. check engine light is off and has stayed off but now it feels like there is a delay or probably a misfire. when i accelerate the car feels like its skipping a cylinder.. any suggestions? ( wasnt doing this before i cleaned everything)

Never hurts to replace spark plugs and wires.

Re: delay/misfire?

ill double check what i can here, but i was pretty sure i got everything back together tight.. the thing is when im at a higher rpm it doesnt do it and when the engine is warmed up it doesnt do it... i got my new wires and plugs so ill let ya know if that fixed it. does anyone know a good gap for the sparkplugs? remember im basically stock

Re: delay/misfire?

alright so it started doing the hesitation / misfire again since i put the new wires and cables on.. i made sure i set the gap and i have gone over the engine and im pretty sure all boost leaks that are a 5 min fix have been taken care of.. any other suggestions?
