well too make a long story short my car has been acting up for a week now felt all slugesh. well this week it got so bad i had to go down my cusion who own a shop / car garage and he ran a distic. it showed up that spark plug 5 was the fult. well went out and came home check all 3 back plugs and all 3 have never ever been changed before. so i went out and bought 3 new AC Delco ones. turns thats just part of my problem. it's still slugesh. went down to my cusion told him the problem now he said could be 3 things, spark plugs, plug wires, coil packs. so iam guessing it's the coil packs lucky my cusin said he has 3 spare ones and would let me barrow them to see if it's the problem. so wish me luck for tomarrow iam gona find out.

And, how many have you had to drink before you typed this? J/K I hope you get it working.

Check your plug wires before you start changing coil packs. I had the same sluggish problem on my Beretta a couple months back. Turned out one of my plug wires was burned off inside the boot on the plug end. Saved me lots of trouble from replacing anything else. And, a new wire set isn't that expensive.

If the coil pack doesn't help you might want to check/replace the fuel injector.
