    ok. im lost on this one. no engine light. runs fine when driving normal. however. under full throttle it sputters after 5k rpm. all 3 coils are sparking no problem so i dont think its icm or coils. ive herd a clogged up cat could cause this but i have a 3in catless down pipe. i put new ngk tr6 plugs on it about 8k miles ago. has anyone ever had this issue before? i have new plugs and wires on there way. if its not that what else could it be?

    Start with the plugs, one could be cracked.

    Or maybe you are losing fuel pressure at high rpm.

    If you have access to a scanner look at the individual cylinder misfire count. That will give you an idea of where to look. if you see high misfires on a specific cylinder swap the coil with one of the other ones to see if the misfire follows. also scan for knock
