Ok, sorry for the goofy title...

It had just occured to me...

As you all know, I have a lack of power. I thought that it was possible that my spark plugs wires could be jumping sparks inbetween each other. A quick run once the engine was warm at night settled that. No sparks. But then it hit me... I have metal protective sleeves over the end of my boots. Is it possible that these sleeves are conducting electricity away from the right path? IE: into the block and to ground? Could that cause my low power once it warms up? Maybe I'll give it a try tomorrow anyway if no one responds.

I think you lack power because you have a 2.8.

 

I knew someone would say it sooner or later... but no. I've felt the power this thing has (potentially) I just can't make it -stay- there. I'm just really snippy to nitpick on things that it could be...

I doubt it's a lack of spark. You really don't need a whole lot of spark to run good. The only places I've seen high voltage help is with blower engines, and it also cleans up the idle until the plugs go away. If it is a lack of spark you should be able to hear the engine missing at idle and it should stumble when you try to free rev the engine at WOT. When is it that you feel this power? Is it when the engine is cold? If it is that's an easy fix.
