Default Re: Misfire and backfiring help

Steve thanks for the reply. None of the wires are crossed, believe me that’s the first thing I checked. The MAF is brand new, I wanted to eliminate that right away so I replaced it. The vacuum lines are all secured and on. The car has 120k on it I’m wondering if the cats are clogged because it kinda seems like a exhaust backfire, and it’s only happening when the rpms drop really low, why I think that is because the exhaust is getting hot fast which doesn’t seem right to me. I was trying to find a post about anyone having a misfire with bad cats but couldn’t. So as of right now I have a misfire, no codes, rough idle to the point it stalls out or try’s too, I don’t know if that backfiring is happening because the car wants to stall or what, but I am gonna try to run a scan to see what all the sensors are telling me.
