yea it was a whole different car after the new coilpacks so i cant complain to much.. if that dont fix it id check your plugs. faulty plugs arent un heard of.. just rare.. i put auto-lite platinum's in mine there not crazy exspencive and they get the job done all i have to do to them is adjust the gap cuz im pushing around 15psi..

yea back in my honda days.. lol.. i ran into issues a couple times where i had bought faulty plugs they would barley spark and if they did spark it wouldnt be strong enough and would just get blown out which is why i said its possible your one of the unlucky ones to grab some bad plugs... when it happend to me on my honda i changed everything trying to figure it out. swapped ECU's Distributor wires hell i even had my wiring harness checked.. then my buddy pulled my sparkplugs out and put his in and the problem was fixed so i just ran to the local walmart here and grabbed up some plugs ive never bought before and the problem was fixed. and thank god you can return stuff i spent the better part of 1,000 bucks on parts trying to solve the problem luckily i was able to return almost all the stuff and get my money back.

well... i fixed it.. runs beautifully and pulls strong. APARENTLY, the intake pipe slipped off the MAF and was drawing in a ton of un-metered air. The pipe was still hanging on by the top of the MAF, so i couldnt see that the bottom slipped off. but i guess on the brighter side, it was a free fix, and finally gave me the willpower to replace all the vacuum lines.

that said,

Im retarded.
