UPDATE.
as can be seen from my posts i had no tell tale signs of problems..ie. check engine light etc.
i had replaced a whole lot of parts and car was "breaking up" under load.
i reversed all parts replaced and only replaced the M.A.S...
the car drives as new ....no problems
LOOKS LIKE THE M.A.S IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM ON THESE CARS...CHECK IT OUT FIRST.
B.T.W: anybody want to buy 3 new coils still in box and set of 3 plug wires AT HALF THE PRICE.....
