Default its happened again!!!!WTF

ok here it is. on my way into work today, about a 10 minute drive, i am in 1st gear and i got to drive and the car starts to sputter again. now i say again cuz in april of this year the same issue happened. if seem to go away on its own. then 3 weeks later boom its starts again but this time it throw the check engine code. i take it to the dealership,where of course the problem is gone, so they say the spark plug well gasket is gone and oil is blowing out the spark plug. so i got it replaced and got new NGK spark plugs. issue gone till this morning same thing happened its sputtering again and now i am thinking is this the start of me having to go through this again. i am running ngk with a .38 gap on a mopar stage 2 04 srt-4 msd coil pack and wires. any help would be gr8 on trying to fix this repeating issue.

also check the plugs, and maybe replace your plug wires if they are old they should be replaced any way

let the car idle and move the wires around to see if the idle changes at all you might need the tps rewire kit
