    I recently did a tune up on my car and ever since I changed my stock wire, ngk spark plugs, and 180* T-stat with Taylor 8mm wires, autolite 106 plugs and 160* T-stat I been bugging at launch and puttering under WOT. I even went back to my 3.4 pulley and still the same. Any1 kno what can be causing this?

    crack a spark plug while installing? break a plug wire? I've never heard of anyone using autolite 106s, maybe wrong plugs?

    BTW, 160* is pretty cold for the tstat, extra wear on the engine for very little gain.
