Well one time I had a similar problem but I knew it wasn't the opti. I thought I had bad gas so I got some better gas, changed the fuel filter and nothing changed. Turns out I had a couple dead plugs and presto! Problem solved.

Yeah try plugs/wires first if you haven't. That fixes a lot of problems. If it's a high mileage car with the stock opti then maybe look at that next.

8 codes? I'd say you've got major issues if that's the case.
