Default Need mechanical advice for manana >>

Well, Since last week I have had my VTDA installed which I cant fully test and enjoy since at the same time I had new plugs put in. (NGK Iridium's .28 gap.) I am flashloaded with GIAC.

I have some rough sputtering in high throttle (not high RPMs') The sputterings came in regular spurts and I think I have the MAF ruled out as a cause. I am having the plugs checked tomorrow. Steve mentioned it could also be the coilpacks.

I want to get this knocked out tomorrow so any other ideas could be helpful.

Man, do I wish I had tools and a garage! I want to do this myself. stupid city.

Default Thats HUGE

.032 vs .028 schmaybe ;-)

Appears to be some reasoning behind the smaller gap too..<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1299027.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1299027.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Interesting. Now *I* need to go check mine! >

Not sure what mine are gapped at; didn't drop them in, but has been 13k miles anyway.
Get all your goodies for the weekend?

Default 1 package short.

Fed Ex dropped the ball this time. I can go pick it up in the AM but I got wrenching to do. I think I'll have enough work without it till monday. It's just 2 silicone adapters and the ECU so it shouldn't stop me from serious progress tomorrow.

Default Yup. I really think the plugs are the culprit!

I dont think its a major issue. It HAS to be plugs. Anything else does not make sense.
