ok its kind of hard to explain, but sometimes i will be easing into the throttle and i can feel the car kind of lug, or it seems like it runs on 7 and a 1/2 cylinders lol, its not a horrible loss of power but i can feel it...now to the skip, every now and then whenever i give it maybe 1/2 to 3/4 throttle it will skip sometimes, enough to jerk you in the car....the plugs are brand new, and i run premium gas...could it possibly be the plug wires?

well depending on the miles a new set of wires are probly a good idea.
Did the car throw the SES code? Check out your MAF and cleen it too (crc maf cleener)
what kind of plugs did you get . Also might be time for a fuel filter.
But first thing I'd probly check is that all the plug wires were all connected good.

And give the car a good Seafoaming...Did it to mine which is a 99 with 53k miles, and it liked it.

Ive already seafoamed it about 2 weeks ago, the plugs are NGK TR55, i put a brand new fuel filter on when i bought it, when i seafoamed it the MAF looked good and clean, the SES light never came on either....car has 108k miles on it but its been rebuilt about 20k miles ago

My car feels like it kind of lugs along under 2k if I ease into the pedal. If I give it a little more gas it feels fine. I don't understand it.

yeah same with mine, if i floor it its perfectly fine, but a little gas and i can feel it, its not horrible but i can feel it and it bothers me...

I recently replied to a similar post on here, and I'll give the same answer to this one. I've had the same problem with the partial-throttle skipping. I went to the auto parts store and got me a bottle of STP "Jet Fuel." All I have to say is I haven't had the same problem since I dumped that little bottle of magic into my tank. To this day I still don't know what the problem was...dirty injectors or valves maybe? That's what the bottle says it cleans...so

alright, ill try it, maybe it will work..thanks

I think I might have fixed my problem. I don't know what did it though. Yesterday I put in fuel injector cleaner. Today I changed the fuel filter and cleaned the TB. My TB was pitch black on the inside. Carb cleaner and a paper towel took care of it. I think the car is running better now.

Eh, It's still doing it. Right around 1500rpms it sounds like its missing and just kind of lugs along. It's fine if I apply more pressure to the pedal though.

Spark plug wires. Check them/replace them.

guys same problem im having, when the engine is under load it hesitates, for example 5th gear and i give it a little the car lugs and shakes! but if i ease on the throttle slowly trying to let it accelerate i can maybe pull it off with out the hesitation! my problem can be,bad coil, clogged fuel injector! i have done alot of things to fix it! but so far nothing! i am greatly leaning towards a vacuum leak! i changed my egr seal, and today i will change my throttle body seal too! i will let you guys know if the problem gets fixed
