Default EG Hatch Sputtering/Choking

I have a B18C swapped EG and its been acting weird.

Sometimes when I warm it up the idle stay might go really low almost dieing but it doesn't. It died a couple of times today on the freeway. Then it sputters, hesitates, and chokes a little. It gets better if I just gas it.

When I'm at a stoplight after this happens the idle goes down below 500 RPM then goes back up. Not sure what it could be. Spark plugs were changed not long ago.

I'm thinking either the CAI filter or Air flow sensor? Any help appreciated.

I'm thinking its the spark plug wires or the plugs themselves....? It's missing a cylinder from what I can tell.

I don't think a bad MAF would do this. I say check the plugs and wires. Esp. the wires since you said you changed the plugs.

Check the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. Also try cleaning the IACV and FITV on the throttle body.

Yea, my friend said it's the plugs or the wires. Most likely the wires. Is it recommended to change wires while you change plugs?

Will do. Just use brake cleaner or what?
