Found my issue? Bad Plugs?
Car has been missing at idle and acceleration(really bad) Runs like poop.
I was getting a check engine light for bank 1 too rich. So I decided to check my Sparkplugs. 1st plug I go to check and its so loose I can just unscrew it with my fingers(drivers side)?? WTF. I pull it out and its soaked in fuel. I check the how tight the rest are and they are fine. I didnt want to get to into pulling stuff apart so I put everything back together. I have TR6 in it now and Im going to try the 7s. Im just trying to find somewhere in germany that carries them.
Whats a good gap for them?

how it happened this time is hard driving through corners downshifted one hard time and it just started missing and falling on its face. The same day I had the car on a dyno and had some high speed runs on the autobahn.

Update on this-
Replace the plugs with the 7s gapped at .030. Idled perfect for about 10 mins while I let it warm up. Reved it a couple times and it was fine. Went for a test drive, about 30ft out from the garage I heard a pop noise and then the car started running like crap again?
I havent had time to work on it since but any ideas whats causing it?

Im sorry but i am having the same problem right now!
I am fouling out #5 and #4 and #8 is detonating
It breaks up bad around 2k rpm.
I started by buying new Tr6's and msd wires= No good
Bought a new coil for the fouled plugs = No good
I swaped the coils to different sides = No good
I had a o2 sensor go bad it was really fouled on the drivers side so I bought a new one and 8 new Tr6's = No good
I sprayed brake cleaner in both sides of the intake for a vaccum leak = no good
I put a propane torch near the intake on both sides (without turning it on of course) for intake leak = No good
I swapped PCM's with my tuner at StraightLine and he loaded my tune to see if it was my PCM = No good
I will be letting it cool down later and then im gonna be getting a crank sensor on friday to see how that goes. If it doesnt its down I think 2 things a blown head gasket or a cracked intake. I hope not
Goodluck with your ride and keep us posted, Sorry for the small highjack!

I might just part the car out or sell it for a good price. I dont have the Time to deal with it.
