She sits now at 43xxx miles, mods...2.25" cat back to a DNA muffler, HIDs, blue underdash and seat catchodes, sprayed tails and an eibach drop. But thats it, nothing modded to the engine besides the HIDs and power for the subs.

So I have no clue whats going on...I need to fix it now thats all I know.

Because of this my exhaust sounds like a WRX, its cool but somethings really wrong with it!

Sounds like a Mazda truck I had. I rode it for months with it stalling at traffic lights and stop signs. Rebuilding the carb, and swapping out the ECM didnt work. Months later I was replacing a fuse for the radio and notice a empty spot marked Engine. I popped a new fuse in and that solved the Idle issue. Turned out my brother blew a fuse to the radio and used what he thought was a spare fuise.

Since mentioning the exhaust though It could be the catalytic. (assuming you still have one.)

fuse huh? Ill check that out, but tomorrow Im going to try and remove the intake manifold to try and get to the coils under them...i think mine in Cylinder 2's gone so Im only running 3 good cylinders. I believe that may be the issue. Ran a diagnostic on it and it came back "random misfire" then tested it again, after driving it for a bit, and it read "misfire cylinder 2" so idk whats going on...

My G20 was misfiring pretty bad last week. Decided to change all the spark plugs, wires, dist. cap, and button. Found out it was the #3 fuel injector. We figured it out by pulling each spark plug wire out one at a time while the car was running. When you pull one plug out, and you DON'T hear the cylinder stop firing(as in it should sound different on the working ones and no difference on the bad one), it's that cylinder. Hopefully that helps.

Your car has a 50,000 mile powertrain warranty that should still be good. Take it to a dealer.
