You need to start by having the codes pulled from the computer. It will give you some indication of where to start looking. Get the codes and get back to us.

First off it is OBD2 and autozone stores are nice enough to do the task of pulling codes for you.

Yeah I didn't look at the year of the vehicle. You need to do the clip on the computer to have it flash out the code with long and short light flashes.

You know it can be an electrical problem to. If the spark is not there 100% of the time then there is a fuel build up. When you pull the plugs, look at the them to see what color, etc they are. Note the cylinders that they came out of. Are you planning to put new plugs and wires on it?
