    Default engine misfire at low rpms

    b16a in a del sol. it putters when it idles at about 1500 (i think) most of the time and if you gas it about 100 more rpms it putters and jumps reaaaallllly bad like it will almost cut off but if you take to about 2000 or 3000 its fine. and sometimes if you rev it one good time it will come back to a perfect idle.

    the o2 was unhooked for about a month on it but i just put one back in and i changed the plugs and wires and im changing the distributer cap and rotor tomorrow. and the head gasket leaks a bit on the passenger side of the block.

    could it be a simple timing issue or could the head gasket fudge it up...

    what the hell... any ideas?
