feels funny

Hey there guys, I got into my car the other day and it felt slugish like it was puttering and almost like when u run with out one spark plug wire. it does it when its cold and when im at a light it shakes a bit. anyone know what im talking about?? or has anyone ever felt that??? I want to know what it could be. i have to check if there are any loose spark plug boots on the distributor. I hope its not that my cat has a whole or my exhaust piping. Thanx guys. I think it could also be that i need new spark plugs but befreo i do go that way I want ur opinions.

IMHO, i would say to a full tune up. Do a search for tomp's full tune up.

After all that is completed, and you stillhave that condition, i would start with fuel pressure maybe?

Maybe a vacuum leak somewhere. Check all vacuum lines. Cheap to replace also.

I am sure someone else will chime in with more info, good luck
