[s-cars] S4 bucking under WOT - what else?

[Mark Strangways]

I would just add, inspect thoroughly or replace your plug boots.
I had issues years ago  with high boost bucking and it was finally tracked 
down to a very hard to see split in the silicone boot of one of the wires. I 
put black electrical tape over it and the problem went away. I then replaced 
all the connectors at STEALER prices. That was before I knew of "The List"
