This car seems to chug/pull/miss (not sure how to explain it) after 30 mins of driving. The spark plugs have been changed, oil changed and new fuel filter done. It has been looked at by a mechanic and they could not find anything wrong with it. Does anyone have any suggestions what else to look at!

Surely you can get an additive to add to the fuel that will fix it

If not the exhaust manifold (as stated above) double check the plug leads.Quite often in these Lantras' (I'm guessing its the 96-01 shape) the plug leads break down, usually number 2 or 3.If you pull them out you will see a white residue(sp) usually about 2/3's of the way down the stem of the lead.

Weak coil maybe a miss would be an ignition lead but if the car really begins jerking about thats usually total loss of spark or fuel blockage.

Thanks all for the answers, will get the leads checked again. Have also tried adding the fuel additive which did not work.

So where does it say they are a Mitsi' engine! Just because Mitsi' designed them doesn't mean they are Mitsi motors.
Just like the clowns that say they have a Cosworth Mercedes, they are NOT Cosworth Merc's. The head was designed by Cosworth but there is NO Cosworth designation on the car ANYWHERE. Costin & Duckworth forbade Merc' from doing so.

I see you jumped in and edited it to say clone. So all this time when you said "it's a Mitsi' motor, it's rubbish", you were actually talking rubbish. Not helping ya credability.
if its mutch newer then its not mitsi if its older it is its right there and i never said it was a mitsubish i said its a cloneand thats what the old ones are i even owned a hiundy pony and it had a exact clone of the 1.5 mitsi engine the 1.8 have a sirus clone, Just like ssangyoung mercedes mb140 have a om662clone merc diesel newer ones have the sprinter clone-commonrail. and i did help the guy i said to change spakplugs also if they where not already done. and you posted crap about the missing k.
