i just changed my engine oil and oil filter yesterday..took a rag and thorougly wipe the spark plugs (havent change them yet)..
ok..after driving it this morning..my engine feels abit lagging during the acceleration (can feel that the engine hesistated a little bit through the pedal)...pass 4000rpm in 1st and 2nd gear..maybe 3rd too but unsure
what i realised frm the behaviour of the engine after yesterday's servicing (I DONT THINK I DID A DODGY JOB!)..the lagging part also comes inbetween changing from 1st gear to 2nd gear...there was about 0.5seconds lag after engaging into 2nd gear...the lag comes in when i rev 1st gear up to 5000rpm-7000rpm...
before i service the car...there wasnt this problem...
Help me to troubleshoot...

what level of oil do you have in the sump?
and why did you need to wipe the spark plugs.

your engine bogs down and becomes laggy and sluggish when you over fill the oil. just keep running it and it should return to normal as teh oil burns away. or if you are impatient u can jus drain a lil bit of oil from teh sump. hope dis helps

is it missing or running rough when accelerating?
spark plug/s.
i don't have a clue what "engine hesistated a little bit through the pedal" means, and "thorougly wipe the spark plugs" is even beyond guessing.

1-2mm over the full mark wont/shouldnt bother it at all.
did you actualy pull the spark plugs out? if so are the plug leads in the right configuration and on the plugs proper (eg. one lead half hanging off).
