Someone pinpoint my problem Ok look my car runs like **** once it is warmed up. It coughs if you dont ez into the throttle. I went to a mechanic. He rode around with me with a computer hooked up. He told me it was my plug wires. I started changing them little by little, with no improvement. So nothing before tonight fixed my problem. This is exactly what happend tonight I droped my exhaust (y pipe) took out the o2 sensor. Changed the 3rd spark plug to the back on the drives side, (because i got mad the night before and left it unchanged.) I changed the first plug wire to the front on the passengers side. I started my car up with the open manafolds, just to wake the neighbors. I put the exhaust back on. My car ran BEAUTIFULL the problem was gone. I went to the gas station to put some gas in. Drove around for a couple minutes to soke up the acomplishment. I stopped and did a big burnout 
. Then the problem came back out of the blue right after the burnout. It coughed like hell and acted like it wasnt going to run. WTF!!!!!

I did a massive burnout once right behind work before getting new tires. After I did that my car ran like *** as well! Except mine was a TPI motor... I can't remember what I did, if I replaced my O2 after that or what, but it either went away or I fixed it.
Your opti could be carbon corroded. Injectors need cleaning, list is so long :\
