It's a '98, 4 cyl, 145,000km, Sport Edition.

PROBLEM 1.

It idles a little erratically (750rpm drops to 500rpm then back). It does this whenever it's at lights and sometimes when it's in park.

PROBLEM 2.

It has started to hiccup/stutter when I accelerate (either from a stoplight or when I enter a highway). It seems to run well when I reach a cruising speed.

From everything I've researched, I'm of the mind that it might be clogged/dirty spark plug wires or the ignition coil. Otherwise, perhaps a fuel filter and/or pump.

Any suggestions for these? Are they related?

Thanks!!!
