I'd also do a full tuneup while you're at it, cap rotor wires plugs fuel and air filters, oil change, and seafoam it.

^ is it a good idea to seafoam an engine with that low kilometers??

yes it is, there's nothing wrong with it.

just throw some new plugs and new air filter...no need to spend all that money on stuff that is fine for now.

I had the same problem today... so I popped my hood and looked.. then I turned off the car. fixed the issue and closed the hood. then I started the car to check and sure enough I was right
















































one spark plug wire was off the cap so I put it back on
