If its between 2k and 4k you are hitting the flat post where variocam shifts. Normal.

n/tIf its above and beyond that, its mysterious. Certainly mixture issues (O2 sensor, Marc) can be a culprit.
It also sounds like the car does not get enough frisky exercise. Deposits certainly can form. I wouldnt know, mine
typically have the opposite problem. :-)

Coils are normally a problem at hgih rpm. You're not there.

Coils are also often worse on occasionally sued cars and those that never truly warm up. If there are any micro cracks that allow moisture in, they misbehave until the moisture is boiled off by heat. for me this has meant as much as 20 minutes on the track - 6k and WOT pretty much all the time. So road driving might NEVER do the trick.

Thnks for the info. Incidentally, the first sentence has me perplexed, but i dont think its material to the discussion anyway.
