Unhappy I'm sick of my z running like crap help

Okay when its hot outside which now its summers its always hot my car isnt running good at all When I start it up and go to drive it and if i give it any more than just a little throttle feels like its goin gag itself out like die and it feels like it might back fire but i always let off. I changed one 02 and it felt like the prob went away for awhile couldnt get to the passenger side at the time but im doing headers in a week and will change it then. Also i have 100,000 miles on it and it looks like they are the original spark plugs and wires so im changing those to if that might be the problem anyway what do u think im sick of my car running like this sorry for this being so long but any thoughts expierences anything just help

Clean the tb and put new ignition parts on, and change that other 02 sensor. Should be good to go.

before you spend a bunch of money on an MSD setup try changing the plugs and wires and cleaning the TB like NEO said. I bought my car with only 12K on it and it ran like crap too till I put new plugs in. As it turns out, it was only driven for short hops and it fouled them pretty bad. They are supposed to last 100,000 miles but they don't say how bad the car will run when they get that far IF they last that long.

do the fuel filter also, i bet its never been changed. A clogged fuel filter can make your car run like CRAP.

Plugs and wires also have the fuel injectors cleaned that all of this solved my problems with heat hesitation.

I am with everybody else. I wouldn't spend money on a new ignition though. Just go with wires, plugs, coil, fuel filter, run some fuel injector cleaner thru it and you might want to think about seafoam at 100k.
