I guess at some point during the build/plug changes, etc two of the COPs were getting rotated. Had this problem on both rear locations.

May not help, but it was the final item that fixed my problem after struggling to find anything. Still seems hard to believe.

Great info. Something I'm going to try. I also have a blowout-type issue in the upper RPMs. When I actually drive my car that is.
