Greetings:

Thanks for all the replies...I haven't driven the car for 9 years and just restored it (2 fuel pumps,accumualtor,plugs,oil,filter,gas filter,emptied gas tank,msd6al ignition.&coil.etc..etc.).. I then went away for 2 months for work and didn't have plates..I told my sis just to back it out of the garage and let it run for 10mins or so..The car as far as I know started on a dime with the new ignition. It never did that before with the old ignition box... 2 weeks ago when I got back, the outside temps. were cool and I started it up..no problem. Took it for a ride around the block. BOOST was on and strong...Last week a different story, outside temps.much warmer and did let it run a bit. Again took it around the block..I had the HKS-fuel enrichmnt off..Immed in 2nd,,boost was building and at approx-3500rpms++..It started to break up..I Believe letting it idle and with the warm weather didn't help me..PLus i still have a stock intercooler...Took out the plugs immed. and cleaned them up..One of the plugs did have a small round ball on it..The rest had carbon on them...I chked for any boost leaks/hoses..None for what I can see.
I believe just starting up the turbos and just idle doesn't work well. You have to drive them and open them up.. Again proab. more damage than good just start and turn off.....
Will bring the car to my mech. to chk timing..26degrees/4000rpm.
Heat soak does not help...

Thnxs again.
