Default motor randomly hesitent

doesnt happen all of the time but i do notice it is starting to happen more often but when im driving my car it will cut back like somethings choking it and ill give it some gas and it will bog down and then accelerate. You can hear when its bogging down which sounds rhetorical but its more of a specific sound kinda like a pop gargley sound in the exhaust. kinda hard to describe. but i was thinking something was clogged like my intake manifold? not too sure any suggestions are welcome. spark plugs are are new too so those are cancelled out as a potential.

Map whack, and don't rule out spark plugs. I switched mine out and started having that problem shortly after and it ended up being that I forgot to gap one of the spark plugs. So I would check thos 2 things first.

They are pregapped, but since same plugs are used in so many cars, they gap them to something that will work in most of the cars those plugs can fit. You still need to adjust the gap for some applications.

But usually the default gap is within range for our cars. But you still need to measure the gap before you install. They could have had a manufacturing defect, or they could have tweaked from shipping or mishandling anywhere in process of factory to store to you. Always measure the gap. Use a wire gap tool, not a flat gauge.

Probably more important is, which plug are they? Brand and part #.
