engine choking?

I miss my DC5
I installed some fogs about 4 or 5 days ago, and the check engine light came on the same day i installed it ( aftermarket fogs ) then the light turned off like two days later

then I just installed a 2.5 catback maybe on monday, and last night as i was driving the egine light started blinking and kept blinking and staying on/ vice versa

We put this computer thing to check it, and it said misfiring in cylinder 3
I thought it was the spark plugs so we changed them with NGKs
and thats not the problem...

and the distributor looks fine...i need help! the car sounds like it wants to die!!!

check all of your fog light wires maybe you tapped in to a wrong wire or puged into the wrong spot sounds electrical to me.

plus i hooked it up directly to the battery with a switch and grounded it to the metal under the steering column

try listening to the fuel injector and compare the noise it makes with the other ones, you can use a philips screw driver with a plastic handle. put the handle agenst your ear and the metal part on the injector it will work like a stethiscope. if you smell raw gas then i would check anything and every thing that gass runs through in the engine compartment although it sounds like an ignition problem, hmmmmmmm pretty weird but im sure you can figure it out.

check the spark plug wires.

I'm 90% sure it has absolutely nothing to do with your fog lights

why would it be the fogs? its completely seperate from the wiring. i didnt tap into any wires ono the car.
its directly hooked to the battery.

soark plugs wires are fine, distributor is sparking, everything.

it still smells like gasoline, i havent checked the injectors yet.
