When my car was messing up I thought giving it a complete tune up would fix it. I thought maybe it was mis-firing. I changed plugs, wires, air filter, oil, transmission oil, tranmission oil filter, fuel filter and also added the lucus transmission fuild additive. Needless to say the car was still running poorly. It was acting like it was only running on a few cyclinders. I then took it down to a local shop and they informed me it was a bad cat. This car is known for the cats get plugged on them. There was no exhuast coming out of the tail pipe. I would have somebody rev on the car while you feel for exhuast pressure at the tail pipe. Or another way to test, you could go by the auto store and purchase a pressure gauge. Then t it into the vacumn line next to the fuel rail and test it that way.
