Angry 1997 Dodge Stratus -- HELP

I own a 1997 dodge stratus base model with 157,XXX miles on it. It has the ABS light on since i bought it last year, no issues there. the only recurring thing that i cannot figure out is why it lurches, sputters at 45-50 mph. It feels like im dragging something heavy. I cannot for the life of me figure what is wrong with it. im trying to fix it without taking it to a mechanic or dealership. i might change the sparkplugs, im runnig 87-89 octane on average, and i use a bottle of fuel injector cleaner once a month. would it be possible that the EGR valve is causing this issue? any feedback would be appreciated, also if there is any additional information that is needed, let me know

I also have read that it could be possible that the O2 sensors might be bad, but its not throwing and check engine codes or light. If i have to i can get new wires for the distributor, but i hope it doesn't come to that. Also i have the 2.4L Inline 4, with an automatic trans. I wish that it would throw a code, then i could atleast diagnose it. again, any help would be appreciated
