So my car has been APR Stage 1 from 35K to 117K. I would replace spark plugs and coilpacks on the recommended timeline when I was stage 1.
I am now Stage 2+ from 117k to 125,XXX, and I noticed that my car feels a little off when I idle as of recent, noticed this issue about 7 days ago. I want to sort out this idle issue at the simple levels first, and then if needed go more in depth.
Do I need to be replacing the spark plugs/coilpacks at a much quicker rate when I am Stage 2+? I am using APR's HPFP as well as APR's downpipe as my supporting hardware for Stage 2+.
The last time I have changed the spark plugs and coilpacks was 22k miles ago, July of 2017. Spark plugs are OEM and the coilpacks are the R8 coilpacks. Also just to add that this car is in NY, the weather has been changing from 10 degrees to 50 degrees randomly, so I am wondering if that could be an issue because the car definitely hates cold weather, compared to spring time. The PCV was also replaced 22k miles ago when the coilpacks and spark plugs were replaced, so again just want to start at the basic parts that can cause a rough idle and see if they need to be replaced.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
