No horsepower at first

My car isn't gettin horsepower when it started, I rev it up when I turn it off and been trying to do it when I start more often and I just replaced the spark plugs and wires in it today and no change, it randomly works fine and like 2 mins after it doesn't get horsepower it will drive normal until some stop lights or signs (sometimes) I need help trying to get it fixed by Saturday I need to drive it to south Carolina (10hr drive for me)

Could you provide more information about your car?
Year, mileage, manual/auto, any modifications, etc.

Read down that thread and complete a checklist of what you've done. Pay attention to "NVRAM" and "ESS".

Also, google search feature is the BEST way to search these forums. I'll post a link for how to do it properly. Let me google that for you
You should read the new owners "stickies" as well, to better familiarize yourself with the rx8
