IT STARTED TUGGING DURING DRIVING RANGE WHEN WARMED UP ONLY. AND HAS PROCEEDED TO GET WORSE, AND NOW RUNS REALLY BAD ALL THE TIME.

You can get trouble codes pulled from your ECU as your car is the first year that On Board Diagnostics, OBD were made available on cars. Some Advance Autos and Auto Zone parts stores usually do this for free, but it take some effort as the diagnostic connector is hard to get to and a shunt has to be placed in a connector that is part of the diagnsotic circuit. But that is the first thing to try.
I am giving you a wlak through diagnostic and repair link that is very helpful as there are so many causes that will lead to a car missing. You may note the IR or Infra Red thermometer to do some tests is suggested. They are under $20 at most Advane or Auto Zones and really come in handy, so you might want to get one.
Here is the link;
