Start up failure, no stumbling

So for a day or two I couldnt get my EX to turn over. Finally this morning i hooked it up to the tahoe again, cleaned off the terminals and it ended up running. Only catch is now I have a goofy stumble whenever I press the gas hard or anything above casual per say.
I initially thought starter, now I am debating fuel pressure or injector issues. Alt, dizzy, battery, all are fine. The fuel pressure this last fall was perfect as well. And, its not throwing codes. Any input fellas?

Re: Start up failure, no stumbling

Well. I am in shock.
I went out tonight after work, driving the car home with the stupid stumble. Sprayed out the throttle body, figured hey worth a shot at 200k miles. After some inspecting I decided ok just maybe....
I took out the BOSCH SPARK PLUGS. Tossed back in the old ones, ta da. Turns over, floored the pedal and its purring. I am going to buy some replacements, non bosch tomorrow.
But I had to share this. I couldnt believe it, but as I read, its true. Bosch doesnt like this car, no idea why.
