Kipperoo3: I've got 8 sparks as well.
I read on ranger-station (thanks, theguyondacouch) about how to remove the air baffle in the intake. I was thinking about a new MAF sensor, a better filter, removal of the air baffle (replace with PVC) and some bosch platinum 4's.
Thatll give me experience with changing out plugs, messing with the intake, and a taste of the difficulty of squeezing HP from a budget I4.
billege: thanks for the help.
