Default Bogging at low rpm of the line

Hey, having those car performance problems...
Basically when i start the car cold, it boggs so bad it almost stalls. Coming of the line, just easing the clutch in as usual, it will jump and bog and bounce around doing everything but actually going. The clutch does slip a little at full throttle and higher rpm. I thought maybe I should replace my spark plugs, it is a 1991, but they've been changed before, not sure when though. Suggestions?

I put some of that STP fuel injector cleaner in my tank dis-afternoon, see if that does anything. Just changed the oil too. I raised my idle a little aswell. It seemed to run a little better after that, but that also was'nt from a cold start.

It happens worse, when I'm low on gas. To me its either the spark plugs of the fuel injector... ?

Have you checked your fuel filter(may need to change it) but since you used the fuel injector cleaner that might not be the case. My other suggestion maybe your spark plug wires, my friend was running on 3 cylinders becuase one of his wires wasnt sparking.

Hmm....good thoughts, thanks. What would be a good tell-tail sign of a loose spark plug? I'd suppose just lack of power...

And abou the fuel filter. Could you give me a general idea of where the filter is located, so i can take a look at it. Thanks!
