Default Neon misfiring

I am not sure if my car is misfiring or what it is doing, when I go up hills and get up to like 40 mph my car jerks and makes a real bad clickining noise, if anyone could give me some advise on what to do, I just had the spark plugs changed in Feb.

Just check your codes the check engine light doesnt have to be on to throw a code so check that first.

it is a 2002 and auto, not sure about plug wires, if this is the problem is this an expensive problem to fix?
