Default Need help with diagnosis!

hea guys my car two days ago started misfiring i guess? i would take of from a light the car would get moving then it would start to bog or misfiring... i if i remember correctly if i would give it allot of gas it would clear up... it wasn’t raining and the car was at operating temp. got it scanned and it wasn’t throwing any codes.. my plug wires are good (new msd wires that i have got ran up over the valve covers so i know thier not arcing out). i replaced the fuel filter today and both o2 sensors if that doesn’t fix it im wondering what i should do next? i know more about these cars more than the mechanic does lol witch is not good but.... ohh and its only done this twice and it was on the same day... i let the car cool then drove it again to see if it only would do it if the car was warm or if it would do it if it was cold and it just hasn’t done it again but i haven’t drove it a whole lot since then... but could it be the opti? thanks for any help in advance
