it could have been a few things. one was the plug wire sparking on any metal. another may have been the actual plugs. i regapped them and cleaned them off. what may have fouled them was the honeycomb came out of the MAS. another problem could have been a boost leak near the throttle body. i put some gasket maker there. all i know is that it is fixed, and i am happy.
