Feels like 1 cylinder is ruff
I have 73k all original save oil changes and filters. I have not changed the fuel filter yet and I'm sure it's stock. I bought the car 2 years ago with 27k and have put almost all highway miles on DDing. So the last 3-4 times I took her out before the snow flew it felt REAL rough getting up to highway speeds under 1/3 throttle or so but smoothed out after a minute or so. I gave her a warm up in the garage yesterday as it hasn't been run in 2 weeks and it felt as if 1 cylinder is missing. Could it be time for plugs and wires? Are there any other concerns I should be looking into? No codes. Only motor mod is a CAI and K&N, no tune. It seems the roughest between 1500 and 2k RPM
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you really think it is a single cylinder, then at idle pull your low voltage leads (one at a time) and observe for changes to the idle quality. If you get one cylinder where nothing changes, then you've discovered the location (but not the root cause of your issue).

That's a good idea. I would say it's still firing, just seems.....off. Last time I got on the highway I thought a tire was going to fall off the vibration was so bad. but then it smoothed out after a minute

Would it be possible to hook it up to a tuner like a dyno tuner and see what's going on? We have a guy about an hour away...I could drive it over there if roads clan up
