My car listed above may have a 2002 engine, just began with this problem starting last week. I am a delivery driver and I just worked the night before car was running fine got up and went to work the next day and the car started lugging. Replaced the ICM unit and the coil pack, now car does not want to stay at idle revs up just fine above 1,500 RPM's and sounds like a good working engine all the way through 3,000, which I kept it at for six minutes. (I did not feel revving it up more than that was necessary). Car obviously cannot be driven this way and I am completely stumped as to what the problem is. Attached is a couple of screenshots of the codes that it was throwing before I replaced the ICM and battery. But now the car is throwing absolutely no codes even though there is obviously a problem.

Hello,

I do not see the screenshots did you upload them? It sounds like you have a vacuum leak or the throttle bore needs to be services. Here is a guide to help us get started:
