this may be a stupid question, but is your check engine light on? it could be a misfire and throwing the P0300 code. mine came on and i tried stepping on the gas more (was attempting to go 70 mph) and it was studdering...

Regap plugs- boost is blowing the spark out. Need more info to help you. Not fuel cut.

No problem! All 5 of us will be here to answer any other question you have.... Simultaneously! Lol. Compare old plug gap, with the new plugs you put in there. If problem is still there, put old plugs in and get into boost. If problem is still there with old plugs, its something else. Good luck, keep us posted.
