    Attach a code reader or scan tool to the Data Link Connector under the dash. Many auto parts stores will do this for free. One or more codes will be stored in the ECM. Record the codes and let us know what they are. From there, we should be able to provide further guidance.

    My friend did the code and he said need to replace the spark plugs, wire and the distributor cap. So I replaced them and the car ran fine, back to normal. About the Code I did not know and he did not tell me what was it.

    Thanks for your answer.

    The code may have indicated misfires, due to worn spark plugs.

    maybe your problem is the cold air intake. I had a similar issue with my car, a car that was bought two years ago. I had an offer, a <a rel="follow" href="http://www.partsgeek.com/parts/cold_air_intake.html">Discount Cold Air Intake</a> and change it. You have to discuss this with a auto mechanic.
