Question Loss of power

I have an eg hatch with a B16A2 and the problem I have is an intermittent loss of power and it sounds like its struggling at idle, it won't stall but it doesn't sound good. When I floor it, the car still goes, but much slower, and sounds like the car is sputtering. Could this be a miss-fire, or potentially a fuel problem (ie fuel filter?) I will be replacing plugs and wires today just wondering what you guys think?

Thanks Thomas

Are you sure that you're A/C is off?

I would do routine maintenance stuff if you havent like oil change, fuel filter, new spark plugs, cap, rotor.........basically all the cheap stuff. Did you just finish the swap or has it been running fine and then all of a sudden this happened?

I changed my spark plugs 2 days ago and I felt some difference. Do a tune up and see if it helps.
