Its amazing how simple things are sometimes, they just dont seem obvious.
I will give that a shot also.If I cant figure it out in the next few days it will go to the dealer.

Yea IIRC it did come with the new updated plug. I have not worked on it the last few days. Surf has been good. I am going to swing in and check on it tomorrow after I drop my lil girl off at school.

Update I am almost 100% positive it is the fuel pump.I was told by the guy that was working on it that is was checked but I told him I wanted to see it with my own eyes. The fuel pressure at WOT is dropping to 15-20psi.
