you said brand new wires, I would say you might have burt a wire or 2. Take the car to a really dark place at night and take a long look under the hood with the car running and see if you see any plug wires arching try to look over everywire really good also take a look at them in the day to see if you any spots they are burt at or have been arching from.

If you think it is the fuel system go buy a fuel presure test gauge from your local auto parts store for about $15.

Well i would bet my wife that it has something to do with ur wires.

either 1 one or more of them is burnt

or

2 (witch makes sense because you statrted having problem only 5 min after the new wires) your wires are not pluged into the right place or not pluged in all the way.

i am not sure how hot the headers get in 5 min but they might be hot enuf to burn a wire in just 5 min

just go check like i said above and check that they are all pluged in right and in the right place

Hmm that should be a clue that something went wrong with the wire change. Sometimes the feel like they snap on but they dont. .... Atleast that would be my guess.

its not a wire it is just when it gets hot it seems.

so like when its cold and i go start it , it will run hard then it warms up and runs like **** and we double checked the wires after we took off my blower and made sure the wires were'nt touching ANY of the exhaust.

Wrong accelerator pump cam or squirter.

No, just kidding.

Could be a bad coil though. Do you have a way of logging data from a run?

Little more specific. What do you mean when you say "boggy"? A-4 or M-6? When did the "boogyness begin"?

The first thing you need to determine is "when" did this behavior occur i.e, before I did something to it or after I did something to it.

Obviously if it started "after" you did something, then whatever you did is the cause of your bog. JMHO
