when were your spark plugs last changed?

sounds like you need a tune-up.

you have plugs with a COP (coil on plug) above each.

not sure how much time youve spent around here but if its been much at all you know that these plugs tend to break.

if you plan on changing them yourself get the extractor tool(s) and read up.

if youd rather have it done, shop around for the best price.

Has the fuel filter ever been changed. I'd try that before the plugs.
