You could always run the car night and see if there is any arcing on the plug wires.

I ordered the bremies from eeuro. There was extra ship time on the bougicords.
There is no such thing as too low or too stiff.

I put in the new wires and the stalling has stopped. However now when i hit 3000rpm it feels like im hitting a wall. I feel a really abrupt jerk in the cabin. It is just as boost begins to spool. I tried the spark plugs out of my9-5 which i know are good but had the same result. Im about out of ideas. maybe fuel filter is clogged?

T7 spark plugs are resistor type (BCPR7ES) and should not be used in a c900, and I would suggest going with the BCP7ES instead of the 6, it was my understanding the 6's are for very high heat situations, not exactly a cold April day so you could try swapping those out too.

However anytime one of my LH cars had the bucking problem on boost it was either a vacuum leak or the AMM malfunctioning. I suppose a fuel filter is pretty cheap and never a bad idea on a high mileage car but I'd investigate all the turbo connections and the manifold grommets that love to pop out.

The 6's are standard...the 7's are a cooler plug...better if you are running a lot of boost.

Bougicord wires
BCP 7ES plugs
Genuine Bosch cap, rotor and coil

That is the proven combination, I've had so many cars with weird issues that Bringing back to this combo solved.

My 89t sedan ran like shit when I got it... I replaced the aftermarket cap, rotor, plugs, and wires with unknown mileage OE stuff out of the spares pile, and it ran 10 times better.

Bosch, Bougicord, and NGK all the way...

It was the plugs big time. Replaced w bcpr6eix and it runs better than it ever has. The new fuel filter made no change. They actually had the platinums in an auto parts store near me.

If you end up with this problem again, replace your wires with Bougicords. Your coil wire is touching your APC solenoid. Crappy wires will arc to the solenoid and trip it causing base boost.
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off :eyebrows:

They work until you have to pull the wire off and the boot comes apart
