I would check the spark plugs before replacing them. Also, you may want to search for information.

brand I like plugs like NGK or Bosch for these cars. NGK would be my first go to company if they make plugs for our cars? Never replaced mine, I just know NGK is a good plug cause we ran them in my race car and did really good.

Yeah, deffently NGK's. I have an '02 Civic EX running NGK Iranium IX's. They are beautiful. You can feel the extra kick they give, and it lasts. Most others I find lose their kick after a few months.

how many miles do u have cause u really don't need to replace plugs until like 80-100k miles unless u r on boost or nitrous, if it just started maybe u got a bad tank of gas and it will be good once u run out of gas if u have more miles check other stuff like another guy said check for clogged injectors, wires, clean the IACV. any check lights ?
