i dont think its a plug or wires because i replaced those when i first got
it.
i bought it in fall 99. about 6 weeks after i got it it started popping
every once in a while. got progressivly worse over time.
i changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and did the f.a.b.m. k&n
filter.
still got worse. doesnt pop so much now just rough idle and poor gas
milage. like 10-12 mpg. and gas is just too damn expensive.
it is a v6.
