sorry ahead of time im sure someone has had the same problem but im using my phone and i get pretty crappy net to look up stuff

anyways the problem started a couple of days ago after installing my ams upper intercooler pipe
it was driving fine when out of the blue instead of taking off it stutters and rolls a little
i have to really lay on the gas for it to take off (it revs up but it goes way above redline before kicking in and taking off like a bat out of hell)
and when i get over around 50mph it shutters like crazy
i instantly thought of a bad clutch the only thing that threw me off was
my service engine light jumped on so i rolled over to autozone so they could pull up the problem and it said it was my sparkplugs or ignition cylinder
*i checked my plugs and they seemed fine*
only other thing i have on the car is an ams cold air intake and an ap fully adjustable bov*

also another question was it rains alot here and since my intake is right next to the ground could it potentially pull in water?

So if your in gear, 3rd we will say, and you step on the gas, the rpms go up like free spin. Then they go back down and catch and the car takes off?

Yea i wouldn't let it rev that high if its coming back and catching.. If clutch is slipping you should be able to drive it under low acceleration without slip, unless you've sufficiently toasted it.
