OK, so I figured out the problem...as I was changing my spark plugs to the new ones, I changed them and put the new ones in...after I put them in it ran worse and I was befuddled. I didn't bolt the coil packs down as I changed the spark plugs and I realized that I could jiggle my coil packs and the motor would change how it ran. I unplugged all of the packs and saw that as I unplugged one of the coil packs, the car didnt run any worse....turned out my #3 coil pack was bad (even though It was brand new and I changed it less than a week before). I put my an OLD coil pack in there, from my original set and the car ran great. This being said, always check something twice, even though you think it's good. Glad I figured this out before I bought thousands of dollars of new parts to figure out that the problem was right under my nose....hope this helps!

Thanks to everybody for their help. It was priceless in figuring out my problem

did you clear the codes. You had a code for the throttle position control malfunction. You need to have the throttle body reset
