so far i have changed the cap and rotor, plugs and wires, fuel filter, oil change, new air filter and it still runs horrible. It only has 151,000 miles on it. It is very slow on acceleration and it guzzles gas only about 9 mpg. next im changeing the pcv valve and the oxygen sensor. Any ideas on why its running so bad or other things i could do to it. thanks

put your key in the ignition and turn it to the on point(not start) than back to off 3 times. you should end up in the on position. the check engine (or power loss) light will start blinking a code. count the number of blinks. it will be a 2 digit code. for example if everything is OK it will blink 5 times then another 5 times. this is code 55 take the code you get and either call a shop or get a Haynes manual. doing this procedure puts the vehicle in self diagnose mode and should let you know if there is something wrong electrically.good luck

is it manual or automatic transmition? Could be the Clutch if it's manual. Maybe the Transmition? Does it make any noises? I had a similar issue, and I found my clutch was ready to go.

check the catalytic converter, it's probably PLUGGED. change coolant temperature sensor.
