Eric,
Humor me and try spritzing water from a spray bottle onto the ignition
wires and valve cover, not dousing the thing but just getting it all a
little moist. Then immediately go out for some WOT > 4K pulls, see if
this makes it worse and reliably reproducible. If it does, your high
tension leads are simply leaking the electricity when the resistance is
higher @ the spark plug.
This is a boosted car, correct?
Regards,
Vito Caputo
