Yesterday I was driving my car to my friends house hit a couple of donuts then when I was on my way home it seems to misfires in 1st and 2nd gear like I lost toruqe didn't pay it any mind then I have been driving it all today it drives so sluggish and my oil pressure gage seems to to up and down when I cold start I'm at about 85 psi then as it warms up it drops to about 40 and stays there just did a oil change and there no white smoke no coolant in the oil and no coolant in the oil idles fine doesn't run hot just runs shitty what you guys think ???

Have you checked to make sure your spark-plug wires are on the distributor in the proper sequence ?

Also have you pressured wash or hosed down your engine bay recently ?

Have you checked your maf meter and the IAC ?

Wait.... You were driving, there were donuts in the road and then you hit them? Not sure how that causes a misfire unless they got kicked up into the distributor or something. I'd drive around those donuts next time you see them. Lesson learned.

Burnd wire can cause that misfire.. If it is the wire it will leak the spark nd ground out causing it to run sluggish

Shaun what car we talking bout, the drop or the stang? If it's the stang check your plugs too? Your wires should be good if they didn't burn but you never know. You didnt build this one did you?

Check your vacuum lines too as that can cause misfiring. Doing donuts will screw up many things as it is real rough on a car.

Also, have you pulled any codes?

Yes it would... Take it off and clean it with some throttle body or brake cleaner.
