Default Car sputtering at 3K and up.

I was driving my car normally today, not beating on it. I was in second gear when i took it up to 3k and my car started to sputter and barely accelerate. I put it back in first gear and took it up to 3k and the same thing happened. I then turned the car off and back on and drove it and it seemed fine. My car is a 95 jdm prelude h22a. Someone suggested changing the spark plugs since they have not been changed sinse i had the car. Has any one else had this problem? If so what was the fix.

********UPDATE***********

Well i decided to start with the small problems. So i decided to change the spark plugs sinse it has not been done in a long while. So while facing the engine i took out the spark plug all the way to the right. Changed it then the next one, i got to the third one and pulled out the spark plug wire.

When i pull out the wire(the part down in the hole) it is covered in water aswell and the 4th one. Went to my mechanic, he said that sometimes moisture gets in. Said to crank it with the spark plugs out to get rid of ne water if there is some and replace the spark plugs and it shud be fine. So i litened to him and did this, tiny mist of water came out of the two left cylinders.

Replaced the plugs and started it up. It ran fine for the 5 minutes i took it for a drive, then i came home and parked it up. Decided to go out an hour later after 3 minutes of driving the sputtering started happening again. So i pull over and check it out. Pull out the spark plug wires(the part what goes into the hole) and drops of water are around the 2 left spark plug wires. So i limp it home and have it parked up not knowing what the problem is.

Some one suggested as a worst case scenereo that i have a cracked head
What are your thoughts on this, ne help is appreciated.
