I picked up a set of ngks plugs I'm going to do soon I assume that they original plugs are still in there. Could it be an issue of clogged injectors or a bad coil pack?

When trying to read someones story without punctuation it can be interpreted competely different.
If someone is asking for help, why should someone else have to mentally punctuate their continuous speel to sort out what they are asking.

You need to get a benchmark on it. Either dyno it or take it to the track and get a MPH for it.

Cars always feel slow after a while.
