My car seems a bit boggy compared to usual (not intake related).
What do you guys recommend?
I've heard good things and bad things about injector cleaner.
When should spark plugs be replaced? How much are they? And whats the stock part #?
Thanks

Cant answer the sprk plug, but I've never had issues with fuel injector cleaner. Just make sure you follow the instructions. Like, dont add a full bottle of the stuff to a 1/4 tank of gas :lol:
I'd do both. Injector cleaner is about $10 and a new fuel filter is about $20. The fuel filter is really easy to do, just don't forget to take the fuel cap off and purge the fuel rail via the shrader valve. You can also drain pressure form the fuel system by removing the fuel pump fuse and letting the car run until it craps out.
NGK Laser Platinum plugs are around $20 a piece, but read the plug first. If it is fouled, cracked (unlikely) or the gap is off, change them. If the Gap is within a few thou and the plug is clean of a light silver, they are fine.
peace
Actually I'm pretty sure its not the fuel filter, I had it replaced not too long ago.
I'll check my plugs when I get a chance, and see how they look.
I used to race snowmobiles, so I'm a near expert plug reader, I just don't have the time to take them out right now.

And it didn't throw a CEL?
Could also be a DPFE symptom. The CEL doesn't go off right away.
