Sounds like it could possibly be a failing or dirty maf. Is the SES light on?

So, you took the cats off? What about the 02 sensors?

I drilled the y pipe and welded bungs back into it and put the sensors back in it... they say it will sun a little richer but like i said i have been running the car like that for over a year and zero problems till now

So exactly what code is it throwing? That will give you a good idea as to what's wrong with the car.
