holy crap... not a single period used in that entire sentence with about 15 different ideas.

First things first: Are you having a hot start issue, or is this both a cold and hot start issue?

Second: When was the last time you had your injectors cleaned, and I don't mean you dumped a bottle of alcohol into your gas tank?

Third: What are the conditions of your plugs specifically? Are they old, worn out, wet, etc?

When we know that information we can move on to telling you what's wrong with the car.

No I did... But I found humor in turning my head sideways after writing my response and realizing I did that completely by accident (might have to be full screen to get the effect)

Fixing to change the plugs and wires, uh the injectors I sent to rc about a month ago. And it does it while cold

Yeah, check the spark. Pull the IGN fuse and have a friend crank the engine, check to make sure you have spark at the spark plugs (IE: pull the plug out and ground it against the block).

Sounds good... Now we just need to work on your grammar.

From the other thread...

Are these the original spark plugs you used on break-in?
If so, then a lot of the crap is from the blow-by from the engine breaking in.
I recommend swapping to a new set of plugs after the initial break-in period if the break-in plugs are no good.

duh

You don't even know what boost levels you're hitting. Figure it out first, and then go from there.
