Okay group.  I need some help and advice.  My 97 has been idling a little rough and has a slight hesitation or skip between 2000-3000 rpm.  As soon as I break above 3k the car screams.  I have installed a set of Bosch Platinum +4 plugs and added zMax to the car.  This has smoothed out the idle, but I still have a very slight hesitation per above.  The new plugs seem to help some in that area, while improving the throttle response tremendously every where else along the curve.  My question is, now what?  I thought maybe new wires, but it seems a shame to buy cheaper ones, and can't afford the $120 quote for good ones.  What else can I do.  Any and all input is greatly appreciated!

NGK Wires can be had at htttp://www.nopionline.com for about $35.  Look under the MX-6 though...they aren't listed under Probe.  Don't know if those would help you, but they couldn't hurt.
