clean and regap your spark plugs. i would recomment a new set of wires anyways you can pick up apc 9.5mm wires for about $65 so it's well worth it and work surprisingly well. i would also recomment picking up a can of throttle body cleaner they spray it in a can and spraying the #@%#@%#@%#@% out of your throttle body. i had a very very bad bogging problem in i'd say july and with these minor adjustments the car ran great.
 
alright mother #@%#@%#@%#@%er you listen up eclipsechild, your obvioslly a #@%#@%#@%#@%ing child if you think you could go up against me or my car, i should drive my ass up there and see your ass in person and then see what you think of talking #@%#@%#@%#@% b/c im 6'5 mean and i drive a green machine so be on the look out mother #@%#@%#@%#@%er

After you read that understand that cars are designed to have a specific gap in its spark plugs to induce the voltage jump at the same time. Too wide and it delays. To short and it jumps early causing pre-ignition. Everytime you replace your sparkplugs (and I regap them even when I am not replacing them) you need to gap the sparkplugs to the appropriate gap for your application.
