Sluggish....then power

Sluggish....then power
I was just looking for some opinions on what the problem may be. I have a 94 civic ex and a few weeks ago I blew the main relay plus the distributor was bad. So. I purchased a used distributor, looks good and had low miles on it, and got a new relay plus put in some new plugs. They are NGK 1095s. They are one range colder then stock. OK now for the problem. I put the car in first and hit the gas and the car slugs. It feels bogged down till the rpms rise up then it takes off. Then when I shift to secound it does the same thing. Real sluggish then back to normal. Should I go back to stock plugs? Could I be misfiring? Any help is very much appriciated.

Look over the IM and see if theres any hose's lose or coming lose. Atleast thats my guess because thats what happened to me.
Could also be your spark plugs, what are they gapped to?

id also say its the timing.. a few friends have had the same problem.. maybe when your distributor was bad it caused the timing belt to jump a tooth... check that out.. hope that helps..

you can spray starting fluid around your hoses to check for a vac. leak. Don't go crazy on the spray and it'll be safe. If the car idle never moves during this, then it's a good sign of no vac leaks.
