I have a 97 mirage DE that the engine light is on. I have had a tune up.it loses power at idle.

When I first start the car and then place it in reverse it loses alot of power. I put it back in park and wait like 10 mins and it runs fine. replaced spark plug wires and spark plugs. I have to let it idle for 10-15 mins

97 mitsubshi daimante gdi. Lack of power up hill.

Sounds like its time for a tune up. Start there and your mechanic will be able to note any other abnormal conditions. change fuel/air filter and any other maintenance items you haven't done so far.
