Ok, so, the problem went away for a while. And now I'm not smelling or losing anti freeze anymore and the fill cap/dipstick only show clean oil.

However, now the issue is back with a vengeance. Runs good until it gets up to temp then sputters, pops, loads up, backfires (quite spectacularly sometimes lol) and generally runs like a bag of smashed assholes.

So, I've recently replaced both o2 sensors, the iac, and pulled the air filter to make sure that wasn't the issue. When I changed the iac I pulled the throttle body off, removed the bottom plate, and cleaned it thoroughly.
Now, when it's cold it runs like a raped ape, better than ever. As soon as it gets up to temp it's just a mess. Falls all over itself and is almost undriveable.

HELP!!! I have someone just waiting for me to sort it out and I think I have the car sold for a good price. Want to get it resolved before he moves on but don't want to keep throwing parts at it...
