no CEL? hrmmm, perhaps you should try something to intentionally trip the CEL to make sure they didnt just take out the bulb....pull the wire off the MAF sensor that should do it

also i did a DIY guide for the plugs if you need to refer to it here:

Change out the spark plugs, wires.

If the problem still persists, maybe it has something to do with the timing being off?

you go to autozone, or o reillys or an autopart store and ask for them to scan your Codes on your car.. they will tell you what your problem is.. Or you can buy a scan tool yourself.
