haha! im not sure why i didnt pick up on my manifold pressure parameter reading 0.15 for 3 pulls in a row. didnt think anything of it, then i scaled my maf with that hose popped off, mind = embarassed. weird thing was, wideband afr's during the fateful pull were 11 even....so not sure if it was the tune during that pull or the plugs were going to fail anyway. the plug doesnt have any gap left, so im assuming the plug arm got too hot and bent towards the electrode.... not sure how that would happe with an afr of 11.0
