My number one cylinder miss fires
#1 cylinder is missfiring. Already changed the plugs, wires, and coil. Car runs fine..?
This all started after I installed a new motor
Any input? Need to fix this problem

big nick, try searching the forum. And for future reference, don't hijack someone's thread. If you can't find the answer, start your own thread under the right sub-forum.
OP, very nice list you have going! Looks like your going for mostly aesthetics?
I'd recommend you go for some engine reliability mods before some of the others. That's just my 2 cents

Wow...nice threadjack there Nick! do as above said and start thread in right place, but go ahead and check you wires to make sure they are on tight. FYI.....we don't have cylinders.
OP.........work on that drop.
Not a fan of black wheels on that color, but just my opinion. Keep up the good work!

So far so good w/your mods. There are many exhaust system to choose from, and there is a great exhaust thread here...

As for the engine maintenance, just check your plugs, wires, and coils regularly along with your oil. Seafoam or the Mazda Engine cleaner is great for de-carboning, and adding life to your engine, since you only have about 10K on the new engine, you shouldn't have to worry about this for a little bit.
Good luck w/the future mods and keep it updated here.
