Default Possible missfiring

I'm have a problem with my '08 6mt. It has 106,000 miles and when I put it in first to start moving, as I start moving the car hesitates at around 2800-3000 rpms. The rpms will hesitate slightly and it will sometime cause my car to stall almost if I'm taking off slowly. In another thread I had made, it was a basic engine hesitation thread but someone had suggested it was the spark plugs causing a misfire. Has anyone experienced this particular problem with their spark plugs? And did changing them help?

I don't know. I recently bought the car about 3 months ago so I haven't checked. I'm just going to replace the spark plugs tomorrow with the oem plugs

The air filters in the intakes? I checked and from the looks of it they're almost brand new. And I'm gonna stop by autozone today and definitely buy some spark plugs

I'd get the OEM plugs from your local Nissan dealership's parts counter. AutoZone's likely to sell you aftermarket crap plugs that the car won't like.
