does it do it through every gear? could very well be a fuel or spark problem..when was your last tune up (spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, etc)? I would recommend doing the basics like that first! The fuel filter is located underneath the car behind the gas tank..you will see 2 fuel line hoses going out from one end and another with clamps and clips on them...be careful, you WILL get fuel all over you...

If there are no codes to be pulled, I would suggest starting at the fuel filter, then possibly doing plugs and wires, and then also cleaning the maf.

Hi,

I would expect poor performance from the pre-cat o2 sensors been faulty, but the 2 post-cat ones, i highly doubt anything was wrong with those to be honest. And 02 sensors dont go bad, they get lazy, unless they were sevierly contaminated.

Hopefully im completely wrong, lol.
