Don't run right after plug change
#2
Which plugs did you change to - NGK or OEM (Denso?) Iridium?
Did you torque them down correctly?
If you're misfiring, then there'd be a code logged as such - check to see if that's the case.

Ok will check the lines. It not real bad it's just enough to notice its not as smooth. I thought you was not supposed to try and gap these plugs at all?

If a hose was disconnected, the car would stumble like crazy but it's worth checking if any hoses are a little loose or damaged. If the car is actually misfiring there will eventually be a trouble code stored, but if it only stumbles once in a while then you'll only get pending codes which won't light the dummy light and you'll need to check with a reader while the engine is still running... just plug it in after going for a drive while you're parked before shutting it off and see if anything is there.

Over the last few weeks, I've done some major services to my GS, I did:
New Brakes
New Pads
New Rotors
Replaced Timing Belt
New Water Pump
New pulley's
New thermostat
Drained all the coolant twice, checked for any debris, topped off, burped the system, etc.
Today is new spark plug day. Got a set of Bosch Dbl Iridium, "Do not Gap" factory set at .042
Now that I'm getting ready to put the last couple of plugs back in on the driver side, I notice this little vacuum hose with a green cap on it:
I am not seeing what it plugs into.
Can someone tell me what that goes into?

Better lighting would have helped. That looked like it was blocked off, pulled the car out in the light, and it's a natural fit. Thanks
Pics of the plugs that came out soon.
