Okay, good to know I need to run better octane from here on out. Thank you for that info.

I hooked up my scan tool this morning to watch the readings and record them, but for some reason the recording stopped only a few seconds after I started.

Upon glancing at the readings as I continued to work, the fuel pressure moved around, generally between 560-1500 psi, with no misfiring issues under light load acceleration, keeping revs under 3500. The one time it spiked up a higher is when I rolled on the throttle in 6th gear around 45mph. Under that load, the pressure spiked to around 1950-1960 psi, and the engine stuttered, but it didn't trip a permanent misfire code. Does this still sound like bad coils or possibly a fuel delivery issue?

Again, thanks in advance. If it would help, I can upload a picture of the old plugs I pulled out when I get home tonight, although I saw nothing on them that really showed anything (light brown color and even, non-excessive wear/gap erosion/no cracks in porcelain, etc... Let me know

Do not ever ever ever roll on the throttle at 45 MPH in 6th gear....

Hmm, interesting. The "up-shift indicator" starts nagging if I don't shift to 6th at that speed while steady cruising on flat ground. To clarify, all I did was slightly roll on the throttle to induce a load once I reached a steady speed. That is when the hesitation occurred. It was not a typical "lugging the engine"
in too high of a gear feel. No attempt at hard acceleration. Again, I really appreciate any and all responses.

Also, I hate sounding like a noob...
