Help. Elderly mother has a 1989 Plymouth Horizon with approx. 30,000 mi. on it that recently had a tuneup with about 3 sparkplugs & wires replaced. Since the tuneup; I took the car for a longer drive. It sat outside (very mild weather) for about 2 1/2 hours. When I went to start it, it started right away, but conked out immediately at least 2-3x before it continued to run. Didn't do this prior to the tuneup. Any suggestions or advice on why this would be conking out when starting it? Thanks.

Why only 3 plugs and wires? :?

Check the connections to both ends of all of the ignition wires and be sure they are seated on all the way. May or may not be related to the tune up.
