   Hey all,
   
   Car revs fine until it hits 5.2k then it really struggles all the way to the limit. I mean it feels like it hits the limiter but its only at 5.2k and continues to rise. Hard to explain really.
   
   Replaced sparks over the weekend could this have anything to do with it?
   
   The sparks I took out only had 1 prong at the tip like this:

   the ones I put in have 2 prongs like this:

   Could this have something to do with it?

   Spark plugs shouldn't affect it tbh.
   
   Crank position sensor been hit/moved?
