Does it start easily ? how does it run after it warms up ? any better or worse ? Sounds kinda stupid but try unplugging the mass air flow sensor. I've had it cause problems with cars running like total ****. Just a thought.

Well it was throwin a code before.. i cant remember the number but it was the right side o2 sensor (open circuit).. it ran fine but the SES light would come on all the time. Then one day it started running like absolute **** so i pulled that wire loom out that contained the o2 wires and found it was burnt. So i replaced the burnt section by soldering in a new piece in its place (same guage wire). But then the car continued to run like ****.. until the check engine light came on and then the car ran great. Which I would assume is due to the car going into limp mode.
So i dont know what caused the car to suddenly run like **** when it ran fine with the SES light going on and off before. But i guess replacing those o2 wires didnt exactly do it.
