Default runs rough

Hi Iam a 23 year old male in the Army. Iam currently in Darmstadt, Germany. I have a red neon 96' that was given to me for free, but it needs work.

The problem I am having right now is every time i mash the gas it starts to spudder in full throtle. I changed the spark pluggs and checked the wires they are good. Do you have any ideas of what it could be?????

Thanks everyone

Try a tune up. Plugs, wires, air filter, injector cleaner.

When it sputters, does it just do it a couple times then pick the power up, or does it just continue to sputter?

How many miles are on the motor. Those little motors are pretty strong, they run for quite a few miles.
