LOL yea I know where your talking about, actually we meet really close to there, just up the street and it starts late but its some really good runs.Woodbridge is a HUGE heat score, but we drive towards Brampton or Bolton, some great spots that way.

i've had plugs fail me completely three times.
first time, it pretty much happened w/o warning 500 miles away from home, 2 weeks after i bought the car. misire, car sounded like a tractor. i got r-a-p-e-d by the local porsche dealer.
second time, they died within 5 miles of some hesitation. car would not even run.
third time, i got about 5 seconds of hesitation on the highway. 60 miles later, they died on the way home. misfire, car sounded like a tractor.
it does not inspire confidence for long trips.

causes? it was time to change them...
anything over 1.3 bars will start causing the stock plugs to go bad... so BOOST kills plugs... just like on my evo...

OK I just wanted to update you all..
After many hours and badly scratched up hands...No vacuum leaks
Purchased a new mass air and not the problem( good to have a spare anyways)
Its 110% plugs...After thinking about it for a while I took the car out to see if I could get the codes, what do you know get on it and sputters of course and now I get the codes!
Its good news, for reference for the future, the car blew codes.I love my Brockway!
P0300= Misfire detected
P0304= cylinder # 4 Misfire
I knew it was the plugs in the first place, ,I mean it could be the coil pack, I will replace them all anyways I'll be in there for the plugs, might as well save me some time!but hey at least I have a spare MAF sensor.

It should take me 3 or 4 hours in my garage.Plugs were like $ 8.00 each. I am replacing all of the coil packs while I am in there, that reminds me I need to call the dealer and order those.Thanks
