    Pro xs running not running right

    08 225 pro xs serial number 1b540866. Started a few trips ago where I felt I was hearing a mis. Before the last trip I I had spark plugs changed, fuel filter and new full lines installed. Now the problems getting worse it starts fine and sounds normal but when you put it in gear it spits and sputters and some times dies. Once you get going it seems to run fine but doesn't have enough low end to barely load on trailor. I'm going to see if a dealership can get her in just thought I would ask oppionions from the multiple smart Peaple on here. Ps sorry if my grammar is bad doing the best I can thanks

    Perform a spark test as the problem is occurring.
