Factory plugs are not always the best tool for the application. In your case, you use the vehicle for something that would be deemed as heavier usage as per your question. What you need is to contact your local dealer or Auto parts store for platinum tip or double platinum tip plugs for a greater spark, o r you could replace with the recommended pluga and regap them for a greater spark...

Idles ok . when you feather the gas to it, it lopes and misses. when driving,you shower down on the gas it will take it,but at cruising speeds featherin gas it misses ,hesitates. wwhen you come to a stop...

Possibly a bad ignition coil. I just went through this issue. Most coils just fail. I have now seen one that was putting out very weak spark. The spark was a white color when I had a spark plug hooked up to it. It should be a hot orange or blue spark. The spark was too weak to fire under load conditions. Good luck.

A P0301 code means that the the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #1.

Symptoms may include:
* the engine may be harder to start
* the engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitate
* other symptoms may also be present

Causes: A code P0301 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* Faulty spark plug or wire
* Faulty coil (pack)
* Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
* Faulty fuel injector
* Burned exhaust valve
* Faulty catalytic converter(s)
* Running out of fuel
* Poor compression
* Defective computer

Possible Solutions:
* If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
* If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.

Test it and send us news.
