OK i have a 99GS and i just replaced the head gasket about three months ago and the radiator also. The problem is when i hit the gas it sputters and wants to stall out but if i rev it up a little its fine also it has a hard time accelerating in 4th 5th gears i have to baby it. Does anybody know what this is? This is probably a stupid question but i am really new.
 
Sounds like a nasty miss fire start checking plugs and following that route. Mast cars won't hold 4th or 5th with a miss fire.
 
Well i have Bosch Plugs and i just went and got some new spark plug wires so well see if that helps thanks for the info im going to re gap them also
 
OK i went and i had to order NGK plugs and wires so that should hopefully take care of my problem thanks for the info ill post tomorrow when i install them if it fixes the problem
