If your sp only held 2 weeks you either have a oil or fuel fouling problem, normally cars with aftermarket management systems is not set up properly on idle, thus starting the engine for a while to shift the car or just run for a while results in one or more plugs fouling over a period of time, you might end up buying new plugs and sit with the same problem.

I installed mine not even 3 weeks ago when I installed my head and reconnected everything, since then drove with it once and started a few times to try and sort idling with new injectors, 1 plug died on me last weekend.
