I'm having a problem with my 98 spyder gst, it's been sputtering after driving it about 1 mile an onc it starts it doesn't go away til I turn it off and let it set for a min then it's do the samething.i started by replacing the alternator, then I check the plug n wires, then looked for boost leaks. I've got nothin. I'm in the process of gettin a wideband, but won't have it fir a few weeks. It doesn't smell like it running rich though. Does anybody have any idea what else it could be?? I'm really confused! Please helppp
 
are you venting your bov to the air?

Yes it vented to the air, but it's alway been like that and I haven't had any problems. It's a greddy bov.

Did you check the coil pack? Mine started out the same way and gradually got worse.

Well my car has the coil on plugs setup.which I got new and it hasn't been on there more then about 9 months.and the plugs are NGK R and there gapped at .028.
 
check the sensor next to the airfilter. the connection might be loose..

I already check that and it's good, I also swapped it out with another gst I have just to make sure it wasn't the maf itself and still have the same problem. I've also took the air filter off to make sure it is gettin enough air.

I've also replaced the o2 sensor off of one of my others car and it didn't help either.

Which NGK's are you running?

There the 7$ NGK's I can't really remember what there called, I know they have a R on the side of them though.I want to say Iridiums maybe
