Car starts fine in acceleration usually when switching to 2nd and 3rd the engine seems to hesitate. Almost kind of kicking. Thought it was a transmission problem. Had system flushed. Check engine light came on today. Diagnostic computer said 4th cylinder misfire. Need to replace spark plugs possibly wires. Was looking for if there are any other causes and if spark plugs can easily be changed by hand or just take it in to save hassle.

Can you post the actual code NUMBER. We prefer to do the diagnostic based on the code, rather than description.
