Oh, and what did you use to power the LEDs?

And, what caused your battery to go dead the first time?

It was the original battery that came with the car in 2000 it was no longer holding a charge.

I am going to remove the LED any way this week end I am sick of how they look.

ok.

I'm sure you saw where I was going with this.

My concern would be that during the installation of the LEDs, someone nicked a sensor lead or, worse, spliced into it for power/ground.

It could just need an ECU reset and all will be fine as Mike mentioned.

Or, maybe you really do have a crankshaft that is not in the right position and your motor is missfiring.

I reset the ECU a few times but what is weird is that some days it works fine and other day it won't even start. Lucky for me I can drive my 350z or my Altima whenever this mofo wants to act up.

Yeah, it does. A ground or a short somewhere that messes up the ECU voltages.

It would not rev over 3000 rpms while in N before I installed the plugs.
After I installed the plugs it revved right up to 5 grand no problem the other spark plugs were toast.

Thanks for your help if I get this problem again I will probably be looking for more help.
