My FD is breaking up
I just put in an e6k in my FD and everything was running fine for about 2 weeks and now at of no where the car just died. I towed it home and it turned out my plugs were fouled. So i put in a fresh set and the car is still breaking up. It seems no matter what i do it just keeps breaking up.. And the program that was in there wasn't that bad. I mean i don't think it was that rich. Anyhow im running premix at about 1 oz per gallon. Could that have anything to do with it?
It also seems to be fouling out the leading plugs. I put another new set it and it's the same ****.
What could it be?

Lets see.....
Try some of the following and let us know how it works out.
Try changing your ignition wires.
Check that your coolant sensor is reading the correct temps.
Check your spark quality. Look for a blueish-white spark vs orange.
Last but not least, check that your ignition wires are going to the proper plugs.
That oil mixture does seem a little on the rich side. You might want to do a search on premixing ratios.

Ok.. MY sensors are all working.
I just tested my leading coil and that tested fine.
I measured the resistance across my msd wires and they were all between 35 and 50 ohms.
I have an old set of magnacore wires but there resistance was between 1.3k and 2.3k ohms. Why so much more.
Anyhow my plug wires are definitely hooked up correctly.
What's wierd is the car breaks up no matter how i tune it rich or lean.
The leading plugs seem to be fouling out.
The car ran great for 2 weeks and now just doesn't want to run clean anymore.
Any ideas.
