So all of a sudden my car starts breaking up at about 5500rpm. but the weird thing is its not every time. I drove it yesterday first pull broke up second one went to 7500 no problem 3rd time broke up 4th time fine and 5th time broke up. when the car did it the first time about 2 weeks ago I replaced plugs(BR8EIX) gapped to .018. when I replaced them the car ran just fine for my half hour drive home except the last 2 pulls I tried to do broke up again. I just found the specs for the ignition coil so I will be testing that when I get home again to verify its good. ordered a new set of wires for it will get those tomorrow night. but the only thing I did different was I got gas at a different station then usual. the next time I drove it after fill up was when the issue started. so I put stabilizer in the fuel to try and correct it. but not all the way. so new plugs, check, new wires(tomorrow), going to verify the ignition coil tonight against one I have that's my spare. also going to do a compression test just to be on the safe side and boost leak test also if I have the time if not this weekend I will do it. car sat all winter after running perfect last year. and had no boost leaks so doubt there actually is but just want to verify nothing funky happened.
has anyone else ever had this issue? and what was your solution?
I've also been down on boost from what it was tuned for. currently running 28 and was set to 35. but nothing has changed and that was done about 2 years ago.
Thanks in advance. hopefully its something dumb like the gas is actually bad or the coil is bad. but just wondering if anyone's experienced this intermittent weird breaking up before.
