my 96 gt pi started running like crap yesterday. everything was fine and now
it seems to either lose spark or fuel and kinda sounds like a two steep at 3k rpm. I'm not sure what it could be because as soon as it gets past 3k it stops and will run fine again . i have changed the plugs and cleaned the maf and it is still doing the same thing. any advice would be grate .

The only time my car ever did this was when my MAF was broke....

well there was no water in the spark plug boots. buutttt the plug boots themselves were shot and not making contact with the plugs so i replaced them with some duralast plug wires and the problem is gone .
