I own a 1995 corsica . I recently had the car inspected . I had to have the o2 sensors changed , and a tune up . Upon picking my car up from the shop , I noticed it is running rough . wants to stall when you hit the gas . Also when driving it seems like its missing or bogging down . caould this be caused bu the new o2 sensors ? It soesnt really look like they changed the spark plugs so i relly dont think its them . Any help would be appreciated .

Which 4 cyl? Is it a quad 4? If so the plugs are under the plate on the top of the engine. It would be easy "not" to change the plugs because they are a little hard to get too. I would take off the plate and change them myself. If they haven't been changed take them back to the shop and ask for your money back. Good luck

Suggested Repair

If the engine is a Quad 4, remove the top plate and verify the spark plugs were actually replaced; they are hard to reach and easy to miss. Replace them if unchanged, or ask the shop for a refund if a plug change was charged but not performed.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Chevrolet Corsica with a 4-cylinder engine and 90,000 miles reports rough running, stalling when accelerating, and bogging after an O2 sensor replacement and tune-up, and doubts the spark plugs were changed. The expert says Quad 4 plugs sit under a top plate and may have been skipped, and recommends inspecting and replacing them or requesting a refund.
