update on my stalling issue... it was very strange

[FlamboyantStealthTT]

please read the whole thing i would really appreciate it if anyone can help me figure this out thanks

my friend came over today to help me out. we looked over the intercooler pipes. all vacuum hoses. etc. everythings connected very well. we re-checked all fuses non were blown.

one strange thing though. i told my friend to pull out the number 1 spark plug in the front. to check if its sparking. it does spark normally. and then he put it back in. made sure the wire is connected with the plug tight. the plug wire might have been loose before.

so we proceeded to start up the car. it was like a MIRACLE. the car started and idled for about 5 seconds. that was the longest idle it held for the past month.

but then the car still stalled after 5 seconds. so i un-plugged the mas to see if it would run and stay running. after unplugging it. the car started but it shut off right away. didnt hold idle at all not even a quarter of a second. so we plugged the mas back on and the car would NEVER hold idle again.

it was only that one magical moment the car held idle after pulling the plug out and putting it back in. after unplugging the mas the car never held idle again, it would crank and the motor would start, i also heard sputter sound too, but then the car shut off right away(it behaved like this for a long time now until today that one time it held idle).

is my problem a sparking problem?? also we started the car numerous times its normal for the plugs to be covered in fuel right?
