Since i got my car i have gotten it to run better little by little..but there is still some problems. I have Thoroughly cleaned the MAF Sensor, Cleaned the ACT sensor, cleaned and oiled K&N Filter, replaced the Fuel Filter, Plugs, Wires, Coolant Temperature Sensor, 02 Sensors.

Lately it seems that my car is slow to climb in RPM's and i noticed that every time i refuel my car runs better after. Another thing, as i brake (especially harder braking) for a red light or stop sign, as i stop it seems the idle nearly dies as if its struggling for fuel at that moment. She actually died for the first time this morning when i stopped at a stop sign. I changed my fuel filter about a week ago and now every time i get out of my car i smell gas. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the rest of the stuff...??

Thank you for your input .

What's your fuel pressure? Your AFPR may be going. What's your timing set to? Also, do you have a check engine light? Have you pulled your codes, even if you don't have a CEL? Your O2 sensors my also be bad. Check for codes first, before you buy anything else.

When did the symptoms start?

It sounds like you need to run a fuel system cleaner through and like you have a fuel leak somewhere (probably around the new filter).

Well i think the symptoms have always been there but like i said, through replacing all the parts i have the car has gradually started to run better, but now the problems have kind of been narrowed down to the dying or nearly dying at stops. I forgot to say i replaced the 02 sensors last weekend.
