heres the deal: everyonce in a while my car runs rich, only after driving it for a while. never right away. so i changed my plugs (bosch 8's, 7's were in there from last time but i had already gapped them to .35 and i didnt want to put the old black ones back in to go back to the store) and it was fine for a day or so, and just today it did it on the high way all of a sudden, i couldnt open throttle to more than -5 in.hg. or the car would bog down. if i would come to a stop and let it be in neutral the rpms would drop to 100-300 and almost stall, (it has stalled before though) i dont think it is a boost leak bc i took all of the piping part, inspected the couplers and re-installed very tightly. it does it really randomly too. i cant make it do it and it will only go away if i turn the car off. it has only sat for 2 minutes (so it really didnt cool down any) and the problem was gone. i dont think it is leaky injector o-rings bc it starts up immediately after sitting for any length of time (its not flooded) i dont think its the MAF wiring bc all the wires had 0 ohms of resistance to the ecu

thanks in advance

Get a sparklug wire and connect one end to sparkplug and the other end into the coil.
