Just need some help diagnosing what might be wrong!

Ok, when i drive i dont drive like WOT all the time but on those occassions when i want to see my baby's power i will. Well lately i have noticed that if I am in second gear or higher if i step on it, it feels as if i dont get a clean boost. (meaning like it boosts then cuts out, then boosts, and cuts out and then finally i get all the power i would regularly). Could this be a sign of fuel cut, possibly a boost leak or am I looking at something more serious? I have about 58000 miles on the clock and i keep up on all the oil changes. Any suggestions would be great.

thanks

Plugs/wires.

Plugs/wires.

What would be a good kind to replace them with?

NGK BPR6ES, and anyone's "premium" wires.

Plugs and wires would be the first thing I'd check.

I'd check plugs first as they are dirt cheap, if you have a wire brush clean off the carbon deposits then (re)gap them at .028 and try it.

If that doesn't work get new plugs and try those with a .028 gap.

If still no avail then try a set of known good plug wires to see if that is the problem.

Then if that doesn't work swap in a known good transitor and/or coil pack.

Thanks guys for your help, it ended up being the wires. I replaced them because i didnt have the proper tool to replace the spark plugs and the car worked perfectly. I was able to hook up with (kinetic boost) and we changed the spark plugs, so everything is now good to go.
