Remove you MAF, and clean it. Also remove you IAC and clean it as well. I recommend using O'reilly's Brake cleaner, it doesn't leave any residue and breaks down any buildup really well, and it dries fast.
Give that a shot, clean the plugs up, and reinstall and see how it does.

Alright so i did all this and no such luck, but I did have a question. I have an after market intake, there are two sensors on it. I know one is the MAF but there is another sensor on there that haven't been on my other cars, and to me it looks improperly mounted like half assed just so the cars runs. What sensor is it?(i believe it is an air charge temperature sensor) and is it ok that I can see into my intake with how half assed it is? i will provide a picture if necessary.

i couldn't tell ya. i dont know crap about cars but i looked up online different sensors and it looks like a air charge temperature sensor so im guessing thats what it is but i could be wrong. and i was reading that the air charge sensor can cause similar problems to what im having with the spark and fuel/air ratio. now im just curious if the way the sensor is mounted could be my problem.

if you notice where the hole is it is basically wide open and you can actually see the sensor part from outside of the intake pipe and it doesnt look right. the only thing that is holding it on is that broken piece of rubber you can see and another piece of broken rubber on the inside to hold it from falling out.
