Default Low RPM engine trouble

When I drive my 1999 sir (which is currently stock) it stumbles while under 2500 rpm. Over 2500 rpm the car drives fine. I have replaced the cap,rotor and wires, but the problem persists. I have platinum plugs that were gapped to .54 and i read on a message that the correct gap for a b16 was .44 so i adjusted them. Anyone know what is wrong with my car?

Yeah but when you're talking plugs on stock, it shouldn't matter, shouldn't be affecting it that much....not to mention it wouldn't stop over 2500, it would get worse.., wouldn't it?

I don't think it's your plugs, though you should try and change them (without bosh plugs) just incase..
