Can you feel the miss? Unplug your injectors while the engine is running one by one and see if the engine stumbles.

no it runs great I cleared the codes and no misfire code just the downstream o2 sensor how ever after it threw the code the whole dash panel would blink anf the whole car would shudder for a second but after I reset it, it stopped so I don't know what is going on the plug wires and plugs only have less than 1000 miles on them

I have near the same problem. My neon runs fine cold, but gets very bad warm. I have a newer fuel pump. New fuel filter, plugs, wires. I tried a different coil, and PCM. I sometimes have a tough time reaching 20 mph! Please help.
