Default Car is running bad and then runs good. dont know whats causing it

Ive had my car parked in storage over winter. I just put my new tial q blow off valve and 44mm wastegate. I took the car out and everything drove smooth. Later in the day it was missing like it was running on 2 cylinders. so i pulled over and checked to see if the plug wires had a faulty connection. I started it up and it worked fine. Again about 10 mins later it did it again and then returned back to normal. I thought maybe it was the distributor or plug wires so when i got home i changed both and it continued to miss. The car sounded like an STI and would barely drive. So next i thought it was fouled plugs. i tried some other plugs and it ran bad and cleared up and started running good.

Today i put my old "bad" spark plugs on and my old distributor and wires and its running fine.

Anyone ever have this innerminute problem with there turboed b series?????


Oh and i compression test it and everything was perfect.

What fuel management are you on maybe you need a retune Hondata or Neptune. Could be bad gas. You have turbo, so I Know you would know about degapping the plugs to 28. If run s good now it could be all in the fuel mangement.
