Its a 5speed with 156k miles...just 2 days ago the car had some hesitation in first gear, and little irratic idling...the check engine light was on. so today i had it scanned, said just needed a tune up. So we changed out the wires, plugs and coils. started out kinda doing the same hesitation, within minutes it went to crap. Stalled out, Started jumping and laggin like it wasnt getting gas when accelerating in all gears. even going down the highway at 55 it would start cutting out. then be kind of ok again. after an hour of sitting, started it back up and attempted to drive, wouldnt barely go. End of the story I towed the thing home just now.
Any ideas what could be causeing this problem? plugs not gapped right? defective coils, wires? or is it something simple like water in my gas and i didn't even need the tune up?
any help is greatly needed. THANKS =)
