I changed plugs maybe a year ago, all of them including the ones in the back.. I'll ask today if they can find out what plugs I used. I'm going to bring that part # with me today when I get my bearing fixed, the NGK 3741 is it? I'll search.

Oh and the gas.. I always get Premium from Costco since they opened their gas station here.. I save like $0.15 a litre, or ~$6-7 a tank, so I go there.

The guy on the phone said maybe MAF sensor is screwy? How do you test that?

If the MAF is "screwy" I'd probably suggest a big ass wrench and screw it back in and use some Blue Loctite on the sucker. That should do the trick.

Car is smooth when you baby it, but as soon as you try to punch it it feels like it's going up steps, not a ramp. Car sort of lurches, hesitates, repeat, and eventually gets up to speed.

I would agree with bayaredave, but also change the type of fuel your using even look at changing where you get your fuel, shell & BP works for me (my car loves it) and about twice a year i'll add octain boost. Big Diff...goodluck
