Welcome rainjahx . Whats the engine size ? I seen on ur profile its a 2002 GA. Could be the conveters pluging or maybe needing a major tune up. Keep checkin, I'm sure we can help here at Automotive Forums, we just need as much info pertaining to the problem. XI

Unless you just had some major engine work done (head, anything to do with the cam's or timing chain / belt) I would say your either not getting spark or fuel to one or many of the cylinders. I would start with determining if you have spark. Also engine size, year of vehicle, & make of vehicle are essiental when asking for specific help. (also check your motor mounts if the engine is moving that much, may or may not be bad)

Bosh plugs burn up quick. AC Delco Iridium plugs are the best I hav seen. These engines must run a really hot spark, cause all plugs I've used melt the electrodes off, except the Iridiums.

Changing the plugs might help the misfires for now, but if you dont keep the fuel system clean MF's will continue regardless of new plugs or not. Try some injector cleaner regularly.
