There is something wrong with the car that would become more apparent over time if I ran the stock tune; the Cobb tune is making it show up sooner than later.
It's coils, sparks pulgs or both. You are about at that mileage where your plugs should be replaced anyway. It's probably just a coil or two...replace and enjoy.
