    Spluttering or missing can often be caused be a faulty spark plug lead.

    That sounds like my vs, is it a 6 or 8, if it's a 6, have a gander at my thread about some problem solvers, I changed leads and it ran beautiful for a week then started, now it does it here and there.

    Sorry, just saw gen3 in your op, but have a gander anyway, might be of some sort of help. If it's o2 sensors, just pull them out and give it a run, it'll run better If it is

    Faulty O2 sensors don't usually make it splutter or miss.

    Start with the easiest serviceables.

    - Clean MAF sensor. You say you have a CAI which means most likely an oiled pod filter which eventualy means oil on the maf, which leads to incorrect readings, which can cause your spluttering.
    - Inspect plugs. Replace if necessary.
    - Dump a bottle of injector cleaner in with a tank of fuel.

    i will be changeing the leads on the weekend hopefully as long as i get time already changed plugs and the cai is just a big mouth induction through the standard box whitch im runing a factory paper type air cleaner. thanks for the suggestions i will try them all to get it going well again.
