1999 Other Chevrolet Models 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 98000 miles

hey when I am idling my car sputters/misses once in a while, and I noticed that when it does this my interior lights surge in and out as well. I have lost a LOT of acceleration as well. What could this be?

Bad spark plug or wire. When was the last time it was tuned up.

The spark plugs look brand new so I dont think it is them, but I have gotten a bad wire as a common answer to this problem. I dont know when the last tuneup was but I plan on selling the car asap so I dont want to go through all the trouble of getting a tuneup. Any specific wires that I should zoom in on?

Replace the whole set, spark plug wires are very inexpensive.
