My 05 GT vert has had that issue from time to time, but not since I regapped my plugs. If you're handy, its not hard to reduce the gap in your plugs. You'll find a "sweet spot" for your car somewhere between .033 and .040.

Manual says 0.050, but that's too large - ammended by TSBs down to 0.038-0.042, I believe.
