<--- Feels ReTarDed!!! lol
Fixed the raggedness of the car. Let one of the mechanics in the shop work on it when he was bored and had nothing to do and after running some tests he found that the #5 spark plug had a hairline stress fracture... not clue why (could be anything)... and it was arcing out of the plug and not fireing inside... but was sparking enough to not throw a miss-fire code... so we replaced it and i lost the cat(was broken anyways, and im cheap) and its runnin ALOT better... still has the P0131(O2 sensor low voltage) & P0171(Fuel Trim Lean) so I think i still need to replace the O2 sensor to clear them, if not im replace the PCM... yay *sigh* lol
just an update for those who care to kno :P

It might be loosening things up a bit. Mine didn't run at 100% when I did that either. Run that tank good and low and then fill it back to the top. I generally only put about 2/3 of a can in the tank, that way it'* not going to run to bad.
