Hey guys,

On my 91 3.0 im getting a messed up problem where it will start then chug out a couple times, then when it catches it runs like crap for a while. Ill try to accelerate and it bogs/pops. like a really bad misfire. Its coming from the right bank from what i can tell. I recently replaced my plugs wires cap rotor MAF IAC PCV ECT(for the pcm). I highly doubt it but that sides exhaust manifold is leaking like a french whore(no offense). Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

The exhaust leak prolly already has burnt the nearest spark plug tip off of it.. NEXT thing will be a burnt piston or a burnt valve... all from that one exhaust leak. FIX it today and then look for what damage it has done.
