[V8] Another "freak"?

[quattro + 5 or 8 = fun]

u know, i had the same happen too.  it turns out, i had a micro crack in the
cap on the drivers side.  another thing i had happen was one of the plug
wires rubbed through to the core.  it got pinched between the nice 32 Valve
black plastic piece and the valve cover.  might check the wires for a worn
spot.


hth,
