Need a Spot
so i have a 2.6 4cyl and it runs good but only after about 2000 rpms im assumeing its a little of everythign like dirty injecters and all that good stuff it wouldnt idle at all at first but i put some new spark plugs and plug wires an sometimes it will idle for about 10 seconds but thats it i have a exaust leak but im not too sure on howm uch that has to play in it...maybe gettign a splitter and putting duel on it would help and i was also thinking a k&n cone style airfilter i was looking at the one on indipendent4x but beings its a nock of wasnt sure if its as good plus the fact its more exposed to water but any input helsp thanks for your time

Let's at least give a bit of effort towards something resembling the English language. It does not have to be perfect, but the use of punctuation and spacing between paragraphs would be a nice start. It would at the least, reduce the headache from reading your post.

Now, let's see...

so i have a 2.6 4cyl and it runs good but only after about 2000 rpms im assumeing its a little of everythign like dirty injecters and all that good stuff it wouldnt idle at all at first

I am not sure what "all that good stuff" is, so you need to elucidate a bit on that. First of all, almost any engine with problems running runs well, unloaded, above 2000 RPM. So, that is not a very good diagnostic.

How about this:
How does it drive?
Does it bog off of idle?
Does it sputter during acceleration?
Does it cruise well?
Does it have a flat spot or will it not go faster than xx MPH?

at first but i put some new spark plugs and plug wires an sometimes it will idle for about 10 seconds but thats it

What do you mean by "thats it"? Does it die? Does it rev. Does it fluctuate?

i have a exaust leak but im not too sure on howm uch that has to play in it...maybe gettign a splitter and putting duel on it would help

Depends on where the exhaust leak is. Pre O2? Post O2? Duals are not going to do squat on fixing an idle problem. It is a 2.6 4cyl engine. Do you really think it needs to move that much exhaust? If nothing else, go with 2.25" and call it good. Anything bigger is too much.

i was also thinking a k&n cone style airfilter i was looking at the one on indipendent4x but beings its a nock of wasnt sure if its as good plus the fact its more exposed to water

Again, it is not going to fix your current problem. I am also not sure what a "nock of" is. If you want to know more about using cone-style filters, please search. It has been covered extensively.

but any input helsp thanks for your time

Start trouble shooting in a logical manner?

Vacuum leaks?
Is the EGR system in place? Replace the vacuum lines and see if it helps (probably won't hurt to do).
Is the air tube intact and not cracked? Have you set the timing?
Have you adjusted the valves?
Have you set the idle?
Did you replace the cap and rotor?
How about a new fuel pump?

If all that fails, I would suggest a compression test to see what we are working with here. Burned valves will make these engines run poorly. These engines are simple to trouble shoot, but you can't just throw parts at them.

Good Luck,
Michael

Did it run ok before the new plugs and wires?

Have you changed the fuel filter? Start there.
