PS, the reason i changed them so often is the car was going around different mechs and each of them was first changing the plugs to see whats gonna happen.

I don't mean to be a smart ass, and I don't know how this could happen without throwing a CEL, but try changing your gas cap. It sounds like most of your problems are generated after you've burned off a certain quantity of fuel. What the hell, borrow a cap, at least it's cheap and easy to try.

Hey, things take time in the TRNC. Yarin, insallah, right NorthCyprus?

By the way, where do you live in North Cyprus? I had a nice holiday in Famagusta (Magusa?) on the east coast some years ago when I was living in Turkey.

I don't mean to hijack your thread, just to wish you good luck with your problem.

Like SheDrivesIt said, things really work slow here. That's why it's taking time, people before you post plz read the previous posts, i really appreciate you guys trying to help me but most of the things you suggest are the things i already tried. Gas cap, compression tests and everything are eliminated. My problem is caused by a small freak which occurs sometimes when the engine is hot, the mission is to find which stupid little part causes this to happen and f%#k the AF ratio. The best way to find this out is to hear from people who experienced the same problem, i'd like to remind you that even Honda could NOT solve this problem, i would like to add aswell that i'm not crazy and my S is definetly NOT normal. Another S2k driver did drive my S, he did realize there is a problem, he said his car is smoother and faster, also responds quickly to the throttle. I also did drive his car, and what he said was true.

Thanks for help.
