Default Engine missing. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Hey got a quick question. I changed my plugs because my car was missing and then drove it and it dident miss at all. Then I put my O/R H-pipe on drove it and dident miss any. Then I started it up yesterday and it misses like a mother. Almost all the time at woot and at low rpm. All the sparkplug wires are on and i cant see anything wrong. Do you think that it is a sparkplug wire burned out or something.

the next time you start it up, if its missing, take a screw driver or something and tap on the injectors. one of them could be plugging up and sticking. happens on the time on GM's

i wouldn't think it would be a plug wire, since you just changed them out. what brand wires did u get?

I dont know anything about them other than they were on it when I got it, and they are autolite 8mm Pro Series, they kinda look old, but I dont think it is them because it has a realy hard time at idle like it slows down to 450rpm then up a little then sometimes revs up to 1000rpm then slows agian. Kinda like the tps is bad but i just checked that and that looks good.
