I posted this in the thread "Intermittent Firing on Single Cylinder"... I apologize for the duplicate...
I have two of the problems mentioned in this thread. #1, I have poor combustion and hesitation at low loads, and #2, terrible fuel econ in the low 30mpg range.
My 09 8V should have the latest map (068) as well as TB balance and cam recall as I left it at Rosefarm this spring for just that.
I tested the plug caps with the squirt bottle method and unfortunately that was inconclusive. I do have a set of the recommended NGK plug caps coming today, anyway.
A couple questions, then. Should I install the NGK caps anyway, out of precaution? If so, I think I need to clip an inch off the plug wire, right? Anything else I should be looking for as the culprit?
