So it started out a couple weeks ago on a trip from des moines to st. paul and when the a/c was on it would sputter when accelerating.... i just thought it was the spark plugs but by the end of the trip i couldn't even have it on cruise because it would accelerate by its self and sputter like it was running on 3cyl.

so i replaced the plugs... only thing i could think of
(keep in mind i am still a n00b to cars)
and it worked for a couple days and it started again..
then over the last couple of weeks its bad i can barley accelerate without it doing it and i have like ZERO power.

I thought i had bad plugs so i put some more new double platinum plugs in that didnt work.... new wires.. didn't work... but when i take the plugs out and put the back in the car runs better... i also disconnect the battery to get the car back in lean mode and then it just starts again...


i just thought i would ask you guys before i take it to a shop seeing as you guys know you lancers....

Try putting the stock plugs in. Not the literal stock plugs but whatever the stockers are.

 

just some normal NGK plugs?

 

Yeah.
