Default Over looking simple

"Sleep Much" crazy acting idle, up and down, won't rev, then perfect rev,when driving be ready because your in for a wild ride. Barely take off and stay alive to when did I put nos in this thing. I have changad spark plugs, coil pack, and coil modules cleaned the buterfly in the throttle body, also replaced battery. Have ordered load breather hoses cleaned air mass sensor replaced air filter, as an electronic tech when tou are out of your element you look for simple not hard and allways ask for help.

Not enough information in your post to see a clear problem but these early cars have had issues with the electrical connections to the throttle position sensor and the throttle motor. Remove, clean, dielectric grease (or not) to at least eliminate that.

. . . and welcome to the forum!

Going to replace tb, I'm going to get the codes read. maybe they are stored somewhere, amber light says engin fault, poor vehicle performance.If that helps
atleast it still runs most of the time so I can still guess at it. Thanks for your reply

The check engine codes will tell you a lot about what is wrong. Many auto parts stores will read codes for free and there is enough information here to resolve the problem(s), also free.
