I was driving my car and it starting "puckering out" - there was a
half a tank of gas and I just added some oil when the car starting
acting up I knew it wasnt that batter cuz the dash lights were well
lit. I am about to change that spark plugs could there be something
else wrong with it?

You could wait until Psychic Wednesday, or you could tell us some
details....... You choose.

I suppose you really mean "spluttering" as "puckering out" sounds vaguely
obscene...

Could be any number of things from
- fuel stavation
- old plug wires, dirty spark plugs
- timing is off.
- dirty air filter

Probably the best idea would be to have the car tuned up at a garage.
