What's the mileage?
Have plugs, wires or coils ever been replaced?

It has 140k miles, and new spark plugs, still has old wires and coil.

Replace the wires. You are way overdue. What brand of plugs did you use? What engine do you have?

I have the 2.4 engine , I cant remember what plugs I put in it. Is there a certain type I should use, I also think I have to take the intake manifold off to replace the wires, right?

Most likely, yes the upper intake will have to come off but if it's set up like the PT cruiser, it's a 10 minute job.
You should be running Champion plugs in that engine but you definitely don't want Bosch. They will cause a problem.

Thanks for your help. I think I will start with the wires.

Make sure you don't have Bosch plugs while you are in there.
