brand new wires. The old ones were on so tight from the last person who touched them that they all broke when removing them. Unfortunately, Im running Zex plugs for my wires, so replacing them will take a few days waiting on shipping.

obd0 ecu's aren't smart enough to pick up on miss-fires, it has no way of sensing it. Sounds like an electrical issue.

Ok, here's the latest. When I left work the check engine light didnt come on until I got out of traffic and went over 3500 rpms for the first time since starting the car. Threw another chip in for the hell of it which didnt work. Put mine back in, check engine light is now constant, ecu flashing for a TPS code. Clip on the back of the TPS is broken. So, we'll start there once I find another one. The wiring for the ecu is also a mess, so that's another problem. Thanks to everyone for throwing your ideas out there!!!
