Try a set of MSD super conductor wires or a good set of Taylors. Also, check the intake elbow for air leaks. Mine had an issue when it got torn.

If no vac leak, and the MAF is clean (if you have a MAF), plug wire or plug it is.

OTVC wires are sweet. Thats how I did my Delteqs, and they work great.
