Turns out it isn't/wasn't fuel-cut at all.
It was somehow pre-ignition. Aparently somehow, or something was causing it to do this..but there's so many different reasons, I have no idea.
Motor just went boom on me last night. Nothing else makes sense as to why, except for pre-ignition/detonation type scenario.
Started her up, lumpy idle, stalled, and now won't start. This is never happened before, till last night after installing new plugs/wires, I went WOT on the highway, it "hesitated" as I tried a few times...soon after, she started acting funny.
Hooray.
Anyone want a modded FD for 9k?
I hate my ******* life.

Wow. Looks like I over-reacted.
It's not blown. Not one bit.
Spark plugs were fouled to high hell, is all. Started RIGHT up. Perfect idle.
Found out I've got a vacuum leak or two, is all. Causing it to run rich.
Drove it home just fine, just didn't boost.
Gonna go through it tomorow.
It was pulling 13-15 vacuum and idling well at 700-800. Just the vacuum leak would cause it to idle lower, wass all.
Hoorah.

Indeed. Couldn't work on her today though, it was raining hard.
That, and my dog of 8-9 years died today... so I'm not doing so well, mentally right now.
I wanna cry every time I look at my bed and don't see him lying there waiting for me to pet him.
You may not care, but I just had to vent, I'm sorry.
