    Default low idle?

    got my swap in my 95 ls. the first spark plug is strip, so i went to autozone and bought a strip fixer. bought some new wires and plugs, cranked up my car. the car sounds good until it's all warmed up. that's when it idles low, below 1k, and when you rev, it kinda sound like it's bogging. also, it's backfiring sometimes. we used a B20 coil and everything to rebuilt my ls dizzy. any suggestions?

    ur car should idle at about 700 is what barefoot means. Since the motor shakes I strongly believe its a multiple missfire or since u say u rebuilt the dizzy u might have done it wrong. But realy get your CEL checkd. That will tell you right then and there.
