Spark Plugs again!! - Sorry!
Guys n Gals
Cars been running poorly for past few weeks as though its being strangled!!
Checked the MAF and hoses etc and all seemed ok - so went for the plugs!
I removed the plugs though they weren't particually dirty they did have a rusty orange tinge over the sparking end. Is this normal or is something up?
Current plugs are NGK PFR6b's, car UK98 turbo 90k with full decat zorst, k&n cone & bailey dump valve.
Thanks

Deposits sound normal 
In what way does it feel "strangled"?
What boost is the gauge reading?
When was the last service? inc. fuel filter?
PS. Saw you and Jen in the Evo in Horsham the other day

Hey Mate
Acceleration (SP?) is just not smooth it feels quite chuggy even when warm up to aroung 70mph then from 70 - 100 its just not feeling free - kinda difficult to explain really.
Want the best bit!!! It runs like a dream with less than 1/4 tank of fuel!, just dont really understand
Had all the plugs out and cleaned them up, - new ones on the way just to rule them out.
Last service 3500 ish miles ago by cheam, don't know if the fuel filter was done as only an intermediate service
Boost gauge showing -10 off up to +12 on.
Any thoughts
Thanks
Chris
PS got your scoob back yet?

Have you cleaned the boost sol. out again
Spin past Mike's tomorrow and take me for a spin and I'll have a peek under the bonnet, if I can remember what a Scoob engine is ment to look like.
No Scoob yet

Thanks Mate I will be over there on Tuesday for the other bits so will probably see you there.
Changed the plugs today and still no difference!!!
If im in 4th doing 50mph and press the accellerator the car pulls a little bit then gets a bit lumpy and then pulls a little bit more then the boost cuts in and all is well! Make any sense to you???
Thanks
Chris
