Default Solved my rough acceleration issue

2012 3.5 eb. I drilled the hole on the cac which never worked. Plugged that back up with a screw and teflon tape.

I changed spark plugs with stock plugs. The plugs themselves looked fine, except one had a hairline crack on the porcelain insulator. I didn't think that would affect anything but apparently it did, because now it runs 100%. Amazing the difference.

Just as a side note, I was not throwing any codes except once, I pulled a p0201, which is for an injector circuit issue. None of the docs I read on this error pointed to bad plugs which was odd.

Anyway just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone else has the same problem, do the plugs first!

I don't have an EB, but I don't think the CAC hole is meant to be a quick fix, or has much to do with "rough acceleration".
