ok one day I was driving and it overheated.I stop added water and it was fine for the whole day. At night I parked it then one hour later I tried to start it but it will be very rough low idle sometimes dieing. After 4-7 min idleing rough it will gradually get better then perfect.I could turn on and off its still good like its good whens its warm. But after sitting its bad again.

-i cleaned iacv
-changed ect sensor
-replaced the whole throttle body which includes tps and map sensors and iacv. But this was a used one also.
no changes infact it got worst.
-reset the ecu like three times.
then it was still the same but when it gets warm where ever I rev up to it will stay there!
then the next day I starded it then it was still the same I was pulling out each plug to see a faulty plug,
the #1-changed a little then #2 the car shutoff
then it would not start at all.
please I need serios help I need transpotation to school and work.
thank you

You are not suppose to unplug an ignition wire while the car is running. The current backfeed through the ignition system and most likely blew the ignition coil and/or ICM. You will have to replace these items.
