Default Could a spark plug be the culprit?

I feel my S2 lugging abit, so my dad took her for a boot down the street.
When he returned he said it felt like it was running on 3cyc suggesting to check the plugs. Any ideas why it feels slugish besides missing a K27 .

Busted/clogged cat? Happened to me.

Spark plugs are SO easy to access on 944's there's no reason not to check (as soon as the engine cools, that is).

Check the spark-plug wires at night to make sure they're not arcing to the block and losing power. Also check the TPS and AFM as well.
