Thanks. I am just wondering if my custom tune and the BR7ES I had at the time are what are making the BPR7ES incompatible. Although I thought the plugs were the same in characteristics except the BPRs have the protruded tip. I am going to snag some BR7ES plugs and see what happens. Just sucks because I wanted fresh plugs for the AMS dyno day tomorrow (and Autozone does not have BR7ES in stock)....oh well...

when you put in the fresh set of bpr7es what were they gapped to? if .026 i would tighten the gap to say .025 and see if that works.

Installed the BR7ES and same problem. I left them gapped where the old ones that work are gapped, around 0.027" or so. I dont know wtf is going on. I really dont see how gap effects idle that much either. If anything I would think you want the smaller gap at boost. I dont know. I must have had some magic plugs in there or something because when I put those back in everything is fine. WTF? This makes no fn sense!! I am frustrated here!
