Running too rich? fouling plugs between hard shifting?

    Ignition cut, unburnt fuel, fouls plugs.

    Sounds like you have some maintenance to do first tho.

    Rob, yeah it was cylinder 6. I'm going to try 'violently' twisting the loom about to see if I can induce the missfire. last time I tried I was being a bit girly about it... so I'll give it another go.

    I really knew I should have replaced the injector plugs though. The injectors seriously look just as grott. green corrosion everywhere. I wanted to replace the injectors and their mounting bolts when I had the plenum off, but was advised not to... so the next round of maintenance might be another big job... sigh

    Well, I can rule out hitting limiter as the cause. Within 10 minutes this morning, it dropped a cylinder under even just moderate load.

    I tried to rule out BOVs by standing on boost, lifting and getting back on it, but runs fine ish :/ It still feels like its not getting good spark though. Feels like its only half there and comes in and out a little bit randomly.

    Maybe I'll just go hell for leather, new injectors, new connectors, new ptu, new loom
