My car feels like its missing when ever its at idle it runs like its missing and then when I give it gas it will stop but when I push the pedal further down its kinda bogs out and through all this still feels like its missing. Could it be the fuel pump or off time or just a bad engine all together. So far I have checked the spark plugs to see if the were bad they are still good the only thing is the spark plugs were filled with oil so I replaced the valve cover gasket and spark plug seals also the PVC valve and fixed some emission lines that had cracks in them but the problem is still there. Can some one please help me out here, :(
 
When is the last time you changed your spark plug wires? My laser will seriously hesitate when the wires are old. Its actually weird how much of a difference it can make.

I haven't changed them they seem to be new. How did your car run when it needed new wires? Did it feel like it was missing really bad cause my car feels like it wants to turn off
 
your sound like the same as my prob last year.... My car felt like shutting down.. and got to the point where even while driving if i want to step on the gas to go faster, it felt like it had no power.....

I just took it to my friends mechenic... and he said something about a misfire something cant remember.. but he ended up changing the spark plug wires, and spark plugs.. and now its all better and no troubles ever since....
