how much are you driving it between the time it sits and how long does it sit? you need to post pics of the plugs so we can read them.. finding the cause is not going to be easy without pics.

1. Check your codes (malfunction indication codes)
2. Resolve them

dizzy would ahve same effect on all cylinders, wires would narrow it down to a cylinder and so would injectors. Chipped ECU would also point to an issue in the tune. Spec list of the engine and management and like mtber said: " Check your codes, and resolve them." Dont just continue to drive the car with the Check engine light on.
