Hello,

In order to restore the performance of an engine it is important to do a tune up.
Changing the spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter and cleaning out intake components can help run the engine the way it is supposed to.
Cleaning out the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body can help drivability.

If an engine misfires then it can have difficult time get the vehicle moving. It can hinder acceleration and have drivability issues.

Here is a helpful video of how to change the spark plugs:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
