this morning it was fine. then at 6 I was leaving for school and it starts missing at idle. the whole "dut dut dut dut dut" and increases when I give it some gas. I replaced the plugs and wires and still nothing. What do you guys think?
I hope its not a cracked valve or something

any other idea?

Has it thrown a CEL?

When was the last time you had your distributor cap and rotor replaced?

 

its almost like the timing is off. what are the chances of the timing belt slipping a tooth?
btw. the engine is stock

I just got the car so to my knowledge the the cap and rotor have never been changed.

Bad/clogged injector possibly?

Do a compression test.
