Default Thanks Joey, I'm home at the end of next week...

I'll check my timing and I think I'm going to try some colder plugs, because the coilpacks all seem to be working fine...

Also I just did the Cam Chain Tensioner recently (in an effort to fix the misfires) and nothing changed, but I guess I should look at something.

Reason why I dont think its a timing issue, is that the motor was running fine for 10k miles on same timing belt and no changes to timing.

Grrrr.... Maybe I'll have to come for a visit to NY in a week.
