Well ... As of right now, I cant do nothing to it. maybe in two weeks. Buuut ... Why should plugs be right NOW? My main thing is the going then feeling the loss of power then a sudden boost of power. something holding it back or something. it's weird.

Since i first got my car it's felt like this. Sometime when im on the gas i feel like the car get a boost of power, like i just spray'd it or something.

that's exactly what my car was doing before changing the fuel filter. picture a clogged fuel filter like drinking a milkshake (gas) with a thin straw (clogged filter). you can only drink it so fast. when you punch it, you might get a "boost," but a clogged filter cant keep up w/ the demand of fuel at wide open throttle so it almost seems like the throttle will cut out for a couple seconds. sound about right? this could also be lead to a fuel pump problem, as it's being overworked... could even be the pump, or fuel pressure regulator, or injectors, but start w/ the fuel filter... it's the cheapest of the bunch and it never hurts to change it.
