Bad gas maybe? My check engine light would come on everytime I bought gas at Kroger...Must have had water in their tanks cause when the tank ran low I'd fill up somewhere else and all was fine.

By the way I checked the plugs and they are bone dry.
I didn't expect your plugs to be wet. I need to know what COLOR they are, describe the deposits on them, and tell me if all 6 are identical or if one or two look slightly different.

Default acting up

keep digging. If you checked out most sensors, do you have a PCM you could swap and try out? could act up when it gets hot.
Also I had the same prblem with a bad tank of gas. Car would not act right until I put isopropal gas dryer in.
Have you checked fuel pressure? regulator? injector pulse?

If it'* tan, that'* normal for AFR. More yellow would tend to be lean. What'* your fuel pressure, and how old is your fuel filter?

Did you check the Scantool Registry in Techinfo, and the sticky in General Chat?
