You said you have new spark plugs. A parts distributor once told me that
faulty plugs are more common than you might think. Maybe you already
tried this... If the problem started right after you installed the new
set, I'd suggest swapping out for the old plugs or a spare you know
works. A good opportunity to double check the gap & see if one cylinder
in particular is fouling.
