Power loss below 3000 rpm

Agh, now I'm wooorriiied! I have driven it quite a lot after these problems started. Let's hope I haven't lost compression while doing it.
Oh well, I'll try to keep my driving to minimum until the plugs are here. That should be in three or four days.

I will if the plug and coil change won't fix it. The plug with black tips is something I gotta fix even if it wouldn't be causing this.
We will see soon and I'll report back ASAP.

Changing the plugs and that one coil fixed it!
Good times, but there's still the question: Why did this happen to new coils and plugs in only 3500 miles?
Frankly I am worried that this condition will come back unless I find some underlying reason for it.

Relax....but watchful!

You might very well be right about me needing to clean the SSV though. The both leading plugs seemed to have suffered from rich conditions when I changed them. Black and gooey. If the SSV would be stuck open, couldn't the reduced air velocity make the car run rich? I'm still trying to troubleshoot the underlying cause.
In other news; my car started to suddenly spray fuel while in drive-thru at McDonald's. Nice misty fire-bomb-waiting-to-happen spray from somewhere underneath UIM. I'm thinking it is most likely a broken connector in the fuel line.
Any better ideas?
