header question
alright i finally got the headers sealed for good with locking header bolts and stock manifold gaskets. but now my car doesn't seem to have the low end power, usually the car will surge a little, but it stays goood on the top end.
I'm thinking it might be the opti but with the headers maybe a plug went bad? It used to be a lot worse but then we reconnected the PCV i think on top of the head cover. also has ne1 had ne problems with the starter going out with pacesetter lt's some1 sugessted i used header wrap but I dont want to spend $100 if its not needed.

It wouldn't hurt to double check your plugs and also make sure you have tight connections with the spark plug wires and coil wire. Also, are your headers coated? Coated headers are well known for trashing 02 sensors during their break-in period. Also, your starter will be fine with the headers, no need to wrap anything with header wrap.

ok so I'm pretty sure my started just crapped out...whats worse is my dad told me it would if I didnt use header wrap. basicallywhen i try and start it it clicks sometimes it clicks really fast and almost sounds like im frying the starter( like holding the key to long after it starts) so lately I've been push starting it....uhhh 3500 lbs doesnt role easy. anyways my dad is going tocheck and see if its shot which I'd bet it is and now I'm going to use header wrap to help keep the starter and plugs good. just wondering if anyone knows where I can get header wrap for a descent price? thanks in advance. Also my headers are coated and I've replaced one O2 sensor and recently on my way home froma party my check engine light came on and stayed on fora couple days but since hasn't come back...maybe I need to replace the other O2 sensor?
