[/b][/quote] check your spark plugs. could be fouled out, loose, ect.... Start with the easy stuff first, don't always assume it's something big. start small and work your way up. you need to KISS the situation

I had the thought that it could be the sparkplugs.
I will try to put it new ones and wires and such too.

But like the others said. Compression test and check for fouled plugs as well.
