My car stumbles every once in a while. Not usually that bad, but it will bobble at times.

You may want to check your clutch switch.

Plugs, just get the regular copper ngks and change them on a regular basis.

All FD's putter sometimes... At least from my experiences... Yeah... Keep new plugs in her. THey run rich from the factory... which may slightly contribute..

i've also noticed mine bogs slightly when I have certain accessories on. Looks like it's the engagement of the alternator that causes the 500 rpm dive, but it always recovers immediately. No worries.

i like how you can have the car idling and turn the wheel and it will almost stall, super funny
