bad running after chip/WG spring

[jason snider]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I'm thinking it's either the plugs/ignition system or an intake leak. The car
never had the symptoms before the upgrades. My WOT switch is fairly new, but
I'll check it anyway. The IC has had some oil seepage out of one corner for a
while now, but I've been too lazy to uncrimp the thing and put it back
together.Maybe I could fix this if I strapped it? I don't think it's the drive
shaft because I can hear the car cutting out. I have new plugs on the way and
I'm running the 92 octane out to put in 93, so hopefully I'll figure this out
soon.
Thanks,
Jason
