Default power cut??

Lately my car has been acting odd. It idles fine but whenever I give it a minimal amount of gas it cuts out sometimes and makes the car jerk really badly. The weird thing is that this isnt constant, some days it will run fine and not cut out and other days it will cut out in every gear when i just give it a little normal amount of gas. Starting out is horrible sometimes lol. Anyways its a 92 cx hatch with a z6. Thanks

Check your plugs and plug wires. Get a spray bottle with water in it, and lightly spray the wires with the car running. If you hear the idle change, then your wires are bad.

I replaced the wires with NGKs less than a year ago hopefully they didnt go yet but I'll test. I have a few other distributors around ill probably swap one in and see if that helps. Im gonna go take a video to show you guys what its doing precisely.
