A months good .Had pulse plugs fail in 6 miles ( 2 sets). Ngks best (PFR6Q)but its wont be the cars fault. UNLESS there nology silver they jurk on boost (stage 1 map). :sad: But never failed. Cant beat ngk. :smiley: AGUS LOVE ngk OR Bosch 4S  (but never used them) ( i class them as cheap). :lipsrsealed: Years back max power showed the gains of plugs bosch 4 , they sucked but do there job well.

didnt have time to do anything tonight but yes it started going erratic when i plugged it bk in, and nearly stalled.  when i initially start the car, the revs will hold at 1250 for a few seconds then drop to 1000 and jump up n down a few times before goin dteady again, this seems like a commom cycle its doing
