Default Data logging for break up after 12psi >>

Have and S300. Typically run 18psi on pump. Has been running for a couple years that way. Started breaking up after 12-13psi the other day. Replaced the plugs, same issue.

What can I log or check to diagnose?

Check that you properly gapped the new plugs.

1. Make sure your air fuel ratios are on par.
2. Check plug gap as mentioned before.
3. Consider taking the vehicle back to your tuner for inspection, a good tuner can diagnose an issue such as yours in less then a few minutes....

A/F looks solid. 11ish at wot. Idle is spot on 14.7.

New plugs are the same brand and heat range gaped at .028

Nothing I can log on the S300 to determine the issue? I am going to check cap and rotor today.

No, if it was fine before and is now suddenly doing this, unless it's a bad sensor logging will not help you.

Try gapping lower, honestly.

Try .020" see if the problem lessens.
