Doubt it.

You can unplug the o2's and the car will still run.

Since it's doing it all the time, I would recommend checking the fuel pressure. Get a cheap harbor freight gauge and connect it to the schrader valve on the back of the intake.

Report back with your results. You should be at about 43 PSI.

How did the car run BEFORE, the exhaust and opti/wires were installed?

At any point have you scanned if for codes?

You need to add info to your signature... like year of the car.

If you mean to power the fuel pump, it's 12v. Yes, it is on shbox.

Unplugged opti harness. Purple and white wire terminal was corroded. High resolution. hopefully it will run now thanks to some vinegar. we will see

Yas.

DTC 16, for loss of low resolution pulse signal from the cam position sensor in the Opti, does NOT turn on the SES light, but it shuts down the fuel system (pump and injectors).
