yes, i had a dc sports header where the o2 sensor was relocated from the front to the bottom and the wires got wrapped around one of the axles. the wires were shorting out and my car was running hella weird.

ok so i check the ecu codes also, its throwing a code for the CKF (Crankshaft Fluctuation). i believe that may also be contributing to my problem. the engine is a 96 and im running the 98 ecu. the wiring diagrams show a CKF for the 98 integ but not for the 96, so i think maybe the ecu is looking for that sensor but its not on the 96 engine.
