Here's a little history on my problem. One day car stumbles real bad and I limp it home, change plugs and it runs fine again. About a week later its driving fine, I park it, go to start it up its running like the MAS is unplugged (rough idle, if I go to drive it falls on its face and stalls). I change the plugs, still doesnt work, then randomly after about 20 mins while looking at stuff it decides to run perfectly fine (no clue what I did). A month later (yesterday) same thing happens, I park it at night its fine, in the morning it runs like crap and isn't drivable, change the plugs, still won't run right.

Everytime I change the plugs they were fouled, I retuned with DSMlink after the 2nd time, and it looked good. I even reset the ECU after changing the plugs this last time thinking it should at least run with the default settings but nope. I swapped out a MAS and no change.

The strangest part is if the problem was simply the plugs getting too fouled, why doesn't it immediately run right after changing them out?

Any advice?
