Popping mystery solved!! I think!!

[jojo]

Well i believe i solved the mystery (or not) changed out the plugs and put in some new r43s took it for a run, and WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW the beast responded unlike it ever did. Very responsive and NNNNNOOOOOOO PPPPPPPOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to assume it was the plugs, because i took it for two consecutive runs back to back and no popping. Can a set of plugs do this to our cars??? but i did notice that when i pulled a couple of them out, they were loose and they didnt look like they should, they were real crusty brown and dry looking (maybe for the simple fact the car was running lean?? im not sure but anyhow just thought i would share that with the board, so if anyone has the same problem check these things first:

Plugs, Plug wires
coil pack, and module those are the two pieces together. I dont believe you should replace one with out the other, or so im told.

I had the exact problem. I had a good running motor Sat night and Sunday I decided to rimove tb heater hoses. The car started breaking up upon boost right after a test drive. Of course it was just one of those weird coincidences. After suspecting the omodule , coil, fueling, etc. I checked a wire. It read 1.8 Megaohms. Bingo i thought. Test drive yielded only a slight improvement. 4 days later I put in some new plugs-there was absolutely nothing visually wrong with old ones. Just thru them in without really worrying about gapping or electrode alignment. IT WORKED!!! How does a plug wire and a plug just go bad overnight?? Oh well, KISS .

Its nice to see that some of us have the same problem and can fix them and post them here. It really works good with this board, and all the knowledgabel guys on it.

thanks again
