Default fuel problems maybe?

As of yesterday my car started acting funny. Under full throttle and when my boost reaches 10-12lbs the engine shakes and stops accelerating. Fuel cut maybe? I've never hit fuel cut in this car but most cars that I've been in that did jerked violently, mine isn't doing that. It's more of a sputter. I'm going to check the codes later.

Anyone know what this might be?

Default your hamsters got the herps

seriously it could be a dozen different things. Get the codes and it'll be easier to make an educated guess.

Plugs are due for a change, I've been meaning to do that lately.

I would start there and see if that resolves the problem.

Default That was it, thanks.

I figured bad spark plugs would cause misfiring at startup, guess not. I can't say that I've ever had spark plugs go bad, I always change them before that happens. Unfortunately I found a little bit of oil around two of them, hopefully it isn't a problem.
