could be something simple like a plug or lead breaking down m8.plugs are about £1.50 each leads are a little bit more expensive lol.

Ngk iridium spark plugs but remember to get the correct heat rating if you are running extra boost and magnicore ht leads. A good spark = a good bang

We find that 1-3 favour NGK's.Pretty well priced but dont ever buy cheap plugs to save a penny,it will cost you a lot more in the long run.As Ben,make sure that you get the correct heat range.

Many thanks

On my Evo 3..i use the NGK R (non iridium, non platinum)..just the standard ones..and replace em every 15,000kms...seems to work good for me...

Also, from past experience I found that it's a good idea to check all the intake hoses/piping where the clamps are ..since the Evo 3 is about 10 or so years old now and those standard clamps tend to go loose and some escape out to atmospehere on high load/high pressure...last time i re-clamped those hose joints and the car made a huge difference..

Anyways..hope that helps..
