im goin with plugs and wires as i just solved my prob doin that. course as the man said above it could be a number of things. try to desribe it better. just incase, dont think just because you just installed your plug wires that they couldnt be at fault. mine were only 4-5 months old, and two of them were junk.

check all the normal stuff, cap/rotor/plugs/wire, also check your fuel filter. watch the injectors and make sure they spray in a nice 'cone' shape. also, if you have a CAT if it is clogged up, it will cause major issues. you should also try a compresion test on all the cylinders. there are a whole host of things to look into. start with the cheap/free/easy ones, and work you way up.
