Turns out my car was tuned to lean. Burnt the spark plugs up. Fortunately the guy working on it is into performance stuff so he's making it look like plugs were faulty so warrenty will fix it. Told me I need to buy a tuner, didn't know I had one, and that I need to richen it up some with it.

Doesnt seem like that's likely the cause of your root problem. Seems to me when you reflashed to stock to reset the computer and then drove with your intake still on that would be what leaned it out and burned the plug. The missing may still be a problem for you.

I didnt' tune my car, but when I went back and looked at the tuning notes my buddy made, before my intake, it was leaned at low and high rpms at WOT. So we both forgot to change that after I installed my intake, so the intake and the tune were both the problem....... It was an honest mistake and luckily I'm getting it fixed for free.
