spark plug issue. Help.

Just changed all 4 sprak plugs today. They were pretty burnt. 25k miles.
Installed new NGK 5476. Everyone said they come pre grapped. Seem to be around .35

Issue before was backfire (would pop a few times) under WOT only.
Issue now is under ANY pressure the car while completely studder and barely go.

Neve heard of that plug for a Cobalt before... Could be your problem. NGK Cobalt plugs start with BRK or ILT...

double check the gap. even though they say pre-gapped, you should always double check the gap before you put new plugs in just to confirm. also if you've done mods then your gonna have to play with the gap a bit to find your motors sweet spot.
