95 inifiniti G20t running 3 cylinders?

I drive a 95 Infiniti g20. It is a 5 speed manual and I bought it only a few months ago with approx. 144000 miles. Today I was driving and almost killed it in 1st gear while just seeing the green light. (First close encounter in forever). I then pushed down on the accelerator in order for it not to die on me and immediately sensed a problem. Driving it seemed to show I was running on only 3 cylinders until hitting about 2000 rpms when it seemed all four cylinders went back into use. I struggled to keep the car alive for my 15 minute trip back home. I'd liketo know what the cause of this may be, if it was me who caused it in the first place? And what the problem could be now with a solution? I've gotten an opinion from the original owner and he says possibly bad spark plug/ wires?
