I have 1991 s13 with the stock KA

After driving it for sometime the car started running rough, idling was fine and no check engine light.So I figured it was time for a tuneup and replaced the following

- Valve cover gasket- Oil Change- Spark Plugs- 8.5mm wires- rotor - cap

After doing all that work it will run really rough, and then it will run damn near perfect

I was thinking that it might be the fuel filter or EGR valve but isnt there a check engine light that comes along as an indicator?

Thanks for your help in advance

Sorry bout the thread jack..... But Im trying to replace my o2 sensor and for some reason the o2 sensors from autozone/kragen are not the right size(to small). I bought both the OEM and universals, they were the same size. The o2 I pullled from my header was hella bigger.... Wer did u get yours?
