i would be the first to guess plugs, the reason you wouldent notice them at higher rpm is because your car is fireing more often making the 1 being missed harder to noticed, had the same problem recently, if your getting a check engine light take it up to auto aone and they will tell you which cill is misfireing, either way if your having problems w 1 id change them all

You have to remove your exhaust plenum to get to the back 3 plugs. But gmar is right, you do want to change your wires as well. It's not hard to do, but at the same time it's not easy if you don't know what you're doing.
