even though i know they are supposed to be pre-gapped, check the gap. If thats fine then it may be the spark plugs

Dude there are so many of these posts going around its not even funny.

You dont have to change back to the OEM wires but they are the best. But the iridiums have to go.

as far as the plugs go, alot of people say iridiums suck on DSM's, but I dont know. change'em and see if it helps..
as for the wires.
The factory wires are good, by far not the best, but they are good.
The best, well, that tends to be a subject of much debate.
I like Nology... but MSD, Taylor, (some) Accel, or Magnacor. Generally, with a stock factory ignition system, the factory wires work as good as anything else. Start modding the ignitioin system with those nifty MSD systems, and they send more spark than the factory wires can handle. So change'em.
Generally, the only time you are going to want to run a larger wire/aftermarket wire should only be a fewreasons, Either you have to run your wires close to something realy hot for whatever reason, and need a wire that wont melt, or you have stepped up the rest of the ignition system, and dont want any interferance either going into, or out of the wire itself... Or, last but not least, you are fixing up the ignition system, and want all the power the coil is sending to find its way to the plug...
If you havent done anything to your clipse, then your fine...
