Check your fuel pressure while driving, how bout new plugs and wires while your at it?

ding ding, anyone check the wires/plugs? If wires havent been done I would put money on that being a culprit.

I doubt it's a broken valve spring. Wouldn't just act up only under load.

Thanks guys for all the input this is greatly appreciated. Plugs and wires were done around 40K miles ago and I will be checking them this weekend. The wires all still look great and they are NGK TR55's. I will post up what I find out about the fuel pressure and the regulator. Any insight on why to switch for a different tune. I have had the wait4me for almost 5 years now with no issues at all.
