When was the last time you got a tune and what mods have you put on it since you got it?

- Mods?
- Tune? and by whom, if any?
- Previous owner knowledge?
- Miles?

It's most likely your spark plugs. Pull them and make sure they are gapped to .02, and are the correct heat range (should have a 7 in the part#).

Also, this isn't the best section for ?s like this. Use the search function, otherwise people will give you ****.

What part number did you put in the car?

If they didnt come from the dealer the only correct answer is ILFR7H gapped to 0.020". It is pretty common for even the dealer to hand people the wrong plugs.

Next thing on the list is a boost leak or vacuum leak that is screwing with the fueling based on the air the MAF is "seeing".

Thirdly, EGR lines when reversed or blown off can cause all sorts of issues.

Lastly, bring it in and we can look at it.
