Car runnig like crap???
Just like the post says! I noticed that my car did not want to start this mornning? my car normally is a turn key, varoom, purr's like a kitten. today, I went to start it up and I had to feather the throttle to get it running? Then it ran like crap ever since? ..... After i put my foot on the gas, it finally held an idle. When I put it in dirve, it wanted to die! As I accelerated slowly, it ran like it was missing a few cylinders or as if some of the plugs were fouled? So I changed the plugs, checked the wires, NOTTA? 
Set timming to 10deg advanced, nothing. I did get a code 33 so I changed my map sensor, but nothing changed???
Any help would be greatly appricated!

I replaced the fuel filter and pump last year
I forgot to add, under part throttle acceleration, it seems to surge like it's not running on all cylinders? But wot, it is ok, or at least it seems to be ok?

nope, I am at 1/2 tank. How else would you find out if it was bad gas? I forgot to add, ever since this am, when the car started not wanting to idle, i have been seeing a light next to teh check engine is a light that is red stating "infl rest" which I think is the air bag sensor? I hate this car! help please!

Thanx for trying! nice roc by the way! My car seems to not want to start unless i put my foot on the throttle. I normally can just turn the key with out putting my foot on the throttle and she fires up right away? Now, I have to put my foot on the gas pedal to get it fired up and it runs like crap?
Otherwords, hard starting it! I have to feather the throttle to get it going. Then it runs like it's missing or somthing
