In theory, yes. I suppose it's not very likely, but if you're having issues on a stock car that can be traced to your plugs, then they would be replaced.
Maintenance plan calls for new plugs every 45k. I'm getting tired of this thread

And if Cobb would at least answer any of these questions, they wouldn't pop up again every 2 weeks. |

I'm glad you can take it in stride... it gets frustrating for me since this thread has turned into a request thread, and here I am still checking it hoping someone has posted something relevant or insightful.
Here's what everyone needs to know: stage 2 maps coming soon, N55 support is being worked on, no plans (AFAIK) for support outside of NA, annoying requests and questions about support should be directed to Cobb via email/phone calls. No need to litter the forums!

Just installed my AcessPORT yesterday. Took me about an hour to pull out my SSTT by myself. Installed pretty quickly though the first time it got interupted after downloading the stock map and prior to flashing Stage 1. That was completely my fault though I opened the door to grab a drink (was sooo hot in SC). Second attempt was smooth. I will say it is terrifying during the install I kept thinking my car was going to shut off or lose power mid-flash like the instructions said completely rendering my car inop. It didn't though and I took all precautions (extended drive beforehand, all auxillaries off).
On first drive the car didn't really feel any more powerful through the first 3 gears. But the pull in higher gears I definitly noticed. As such I attributed the lack of change in the first three gears to used up stock runflats. I have some Continental ExtremeContact DW's on backorder so I can't wait to see how the car responds once the new tires are on.

First time I loaded my Cobb AP I felt an enormous difference in every gear and had traction issues in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd What map did you load? The older maps, which parallel the stock mapping, have some serious boost onset at low throttle inputs, the more 'linear' maps add a ton more power, but it may not seem so noticeable at mid-range RPMs or when you're not stomping on the pedal.

x2, did you load a Alternative Throttle map? I went to one of those and compared to the standard v202 map, it almost felt stock until I REALLY slammed the pedal..definitely not as much fun.

There's a few posts in here like that... change your plugs. Have you done the injector recall yet?

Yes I believe it does to prevent everyone from doing the recall at once and being denied due to injectors being out of stock. Also, just noticed you have a 2010 so I'm not even sure if that recall affects your model year.
Post your codes that you get when you misfire... I've had two separate misfire events, first one was solved by performing the pump/injector recall, and the second was solved by changing out my plugs to new ones. If you want to change your plugs, I made a post about a spark plug issue that lists a cheap source and links to a couple DIYs.

Yup, I think that's the exact number I've seen...

I just updated my COBB AccessPORT through the AP manager and got the (IJEOS) v203 map on the car. It definitely feels a lot more responsive as compared to the v202 linear map in comparison. Try going into the COBB AccessPORT manager, click options, and check the box that says check for beta firmware. Go back to the update tab and see if it loads it up the v203 maps for those of you who are interested in checking it out!

Updated to Map 203 last night as well. I can feel its better than 202 as well. Now I can only hope for Cobb will fix the cruise control issue and release the pro tuning tools soon
