Jorgen,
Agreed. The "plug wire" (looks sorta like a black rubber cigar) or plugs
are the most likely culprit. However, I replaced all 5 plug wires and the
miss under boost remained. The next step was to swap each individual coil,
one at a time, with a new coil. I got lucky. I swapped nuber 5 with no
gain. Swapping number 4 totally solved the problem.
It's great having my S6 back running right again.
