ok this car must have gremlins or something, i took it out the other day before the big snow hit.
i have reset everything, timing, base idle, tps volt, everything within spec.
the rear six plugs are fouling(with fuel)and the front two look fine.(front of the motor) the car has no idle problems it just has an interemittin power kick at about 3500 rpms to redline.
the only symptom i have of it not being 100% is the fouling plugs and when i start the car. first start it runs fine for about 5 seconds and then sputters and dies. i'll start it again and it runs without an issue.
also the car just sounds...quiet? doesnt sound like it use to, not as much punch to its idle, just sounds quiet and the only that that has been changed is cleaned heads and typhoon intake.

two thing you can do are hook in a fuel pressure gauge and test drive it......and while it's running pull vaccum line to fpr and see if it's wet with fuel

i will try that in a little bit but i dont have a pressue gauge so i'll pull the vac line while its running and check.
