spark plug wires ok? pull plugs and check to see if anything went bad? theres a ton of things that it could be but those you can start with

A header... a cheap one.. Ebay special. Never bought one, but maybe 100-150 bucks?? I dont know. A greddy ss 4-2-1 2-piece will run about 400 bucks. But DC or something else will do just fine. Or a stock replacement? Craigslist.com and search for one.

just incase check you spark plug caps, make sure water or anything else didnt get in if there was a bad seal, it happend to me once, and my car was sounding like a lawn mower and it was just over all bad i thought i f*ed something up bad.

Re: (vlc92189)
very common for it to be an exhaust leak or my personal favorite - a spark plug wire has jumped off the plug. Makes your car sound bad *** when it runs on 3 cylinders. If you have a CEL as well, especially a blinking one - that'd be your problem.

Re: (92Lx)
I doubt it's your header, but you can check. It might just be a bad tank of gas. (I'm assuming it's sputtering/popping)
Check to make sure your plugs are screwed in, then run that tank out & then fill it up. If that doesn't fix it get a new set of plugs.
Start with the easy & cheap stuff first.
