I'll check that out pronto. It's weird though, I just replaced both about a month and a half ago with NGK plugs and no-name wires, could it be the no-name wires? (no flaming please)
 
Ok, so I'm driving home from Wendy's today minding my own business. I get on it in fifth to get up this hill and at about 12 psi (I'm running 15) the thing just starts sputtering. Kind of sounded like a stutterbox, but I don't have NLTS hooked up. I downshift to 4th to see if it would do it then too. Didn't at first, went WOT went up to 15 psi, no problems. Do it again, same problem. Now it's doing it in fourth too. It just totally bogs out and will not accelerate. Anyone got ANY suggestions?
 
Ok guys, now it won't start. It usually takes a minute in the cold, but tonight it won't even catch. Just spins and spins, and won't start. any other suggestions.
