Hi, I'm a mechanic and I can tell you that here in my city, Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, those cars only work with original AC Delco spark plugs. If you use other brands, like NGK, even if they're new, they often fail and sometimes the car won't even start. Also, check the engine temperature sensor. Good luck.

If this problem arose after changing the spark plugs, you should check if you have correctly connected the wires. If not, the engine will misfire and run poorly

The best thing you can do is run a scan. It could be anything from the timing being off to having problems with the temperature sensor, which is quite troublesome in these models. Now, be careful because these vehicles tend to wear down the damper keyway, leaving play in the counter pulley and causing the timing to advance or retard. The best and cheapest thing to do is run a scan since the check engine light is on.

I changed the spark plugs about a week ago; they're DENSO brand. How are they?
