how recently did you replace the plugs? did the car sit at all after you did so? I had a similar problem in my formula a while back...plugs/wires fixed it. I'd say plugs/wires, fuel injector cleaning, maf/mas sensor bad (dont know what it has), ecu bad....in that order.
Usually when it only runs bad after it warms up its a spark problem.

Have a diagnostic done to see if anything comes up. You may have a misfire..If you do you'll probably need to change a coil pack since you'va already changed the plugs. :-)
