And yes I know about how the little ends need to be tightened on the NGKs, I learned that years ago, the hard way. No, this was about 10-12 per second per cylinder on average and would set of a P0300 code.

**** Finger - What's up with the little ends? I don't know about this.TIA.

The tips where the plug wires connect are screwed on and have a tendancy to loosen over time if they are not snugged up before installation. I can't tell you how many of the guys in the GTP world had this problem when we first started using them. I just used a shop rag and a set of pliers for the tip and a boxed end wrench for the plug body. Sometimes there were so loose from the factory that they would spin off by hand :eek:
