Well if it still stumbles, then its probably not the o2 sensor cause when you go full throttle, it stops taking readings. It could be the optispark but i would check the tps first. Seems like the optispark is used as a excuse way to much.

Yeah I talked to a mechanic and he said that if it was the opti then the car would not start at all so I'll try the tps sensor

This is not entirely true, you can have a bad opti and the car will still run, (like crap) but run, at times some will run fine cold then once warmed up, start missing, some only at WOT, there is a lot of different scenarios with a bad opti.

1994 & up you MUST use an OBD1 scanner.

Have you changed plugs? If so, the plug wires could be crossed. If not then most likely your opti rotor is coming loose.

yep. if its popping through the exhaust then either the wires are bad or crossed like he said. I would check the wires first before you do anything.

1badzee's writeup on Opti replacement is a good one if you want a visual on what replacing it entails
