When is the last time you had a serious scan and tune on it?
You may be dealing with some code issues after replacing the opti & rotor with some 'fine' tune needed.
Sounds like its running way too lean so you need to keep the rpms up so it won't sputter.

Also, when is the last time you changed the plugs. With the rest you may also be looking at a valve not firing properly - you have a batch fire not a sequential fire so you'd notice it at lower rpms on sequential vs batch.

I just bought the car..... I dont think a tune up has been done. It is 150k on it... I checked a few plugs abd they look good, They are autolites....

ew... autolites may be the problem... Tr55's or just plain AC delco's are the way to go..

Id bet money you have a plug wire not on the right plug =P
