Might as well put a set of Autolites in her. They are cheap.

What year is it? It would help alot if we knew if it was Mass Air or not.

Try cleaning the MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor).Remember to disconnect the battery too.

Could possibly be a O2 sensor, if you say it runs like poo once it's heated up.

Yup, just take it out and spray the little sensors with some MAF cleaner from Napa.

Should cost $5 or less.

Look on google for instructions on cleaning it. Very simple
