Well I had mentioned, I had a gremlin, that reared its head recently.

All I can say is, after almost half a century breathing air, I thought I had the whole, "patience and triple check your own work" thing mastered.

Sadly I present you with proof positive, I failed myself. Hopefully with new plugs, gapped and checked...CAREFULLY, before installation, my transient gremlin, will be no more.

Picture = thousand ******* comments.
Extra credit for those who can spot which is "unlike" the other...remember that from grade school???
BTW, you might have to double-click image, to see the obvious.

Yes, third one down from top, came from Right rear (passenger side) I think I hastily insert it down with extension, and in doing so changed the gap, the electrode has been cooked.

I've replaced with SP542 gapped to .026 today, followed by the not so plug and play Garrett intercooler. Running better, but am convinced I got a hold of some shit gas. I ran the tank down as far as I felt comfortable, refilled with 93 octane from the gas station closest to the Porsche dealer, then went on a bit of exercise to rid myself of most if not all of the gallon or so of fuel that was present in the fuel system.

I cautiously optimistic, I may have excercised the gremlin.

Couple a clips, after finishing Garrett and new plugs install.
One in manual shift mode and one in Automatic mode, both 2wd no traction control, nor advancetrac, fresh tank of 93, filled 22 gallons with 18 miles to empty. First clip shot, 30 minutes after continuous driving after filling with fuel.

EDIT....helpful to include video clips...ALSO you must click on face of still picture, these do not automatically play, once they "come up" on your screen.
