So a few days ago I went to start my car and it feels like my car is missing really hard, i had just replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and the ignition coil. When i drive it it stutters for a while and then it smooths out for a second then it does it intermittently. Im wondering if it could be a spark plug or wire or the ignition control unit?

What brands did you put in? If you used cheap parts store wires instead of quality OEM parts, I'd start right there. Denso wires and NGK plugs.

Are you sure the wires are all in the right place?

Did you check the timing after replacing all that?
 
Check the grounds on your injector plugs mine corroded and they stopped working they may be separated and randomly the engine shakes them together for a moment.
 
Woooaahhh check to ensure you put the cap and rotor on right. Not only that but ensure that you heard that clunk of metal when you put the wires on the plugs, sometimes people do not seat the wires on the plugs all the way and avoid it because they feel like they have done it already. I am not only leaning towards the cap and rotor, but I am also leaning towards your fuel filter. I know it sounds crazy but when you make something run like its supposed to every thing else tries to catch up and it can make an impact on your fuel distribution. I hope this helps.

I used NGK plugs, not Denso wires. The most resent thing I had replaced was the ignition coil, but that was after the problem started. I had replaced the plugs, wires, rotor, and cap in the spring of last year.

the fuel filter is new...Im going to re-seat the wires and see if that helps any.

What ever happened to this car? Did it get fixed?

I had this very same symptoms, it turned out that the new ignition coil i replace was the problem. Even though the ignition coil was brand new and tested good, it was faulty.
 
[MENTION=94095]junk4u[/MENTION] the car is still around and still fixing issues that the previous owner neglected to do:redbrick:...I did get the problem fixed, but over this weekend I changed out my fuel injectors to better one that i found on ebay from the seller name injectordyne. But that sputtering issue that I had last year is back but I think one of the wires is loose.
