Try the ignition control module. Both Chevy and Ford have had issues with them for years.

I changed the 02 no luck. Thinking about throttle positioning sensor and wire for my next trick.

have you looked for vacum lines leaking to do that spray some wd40 or whatever on the line around the fittings while running if it spits and sputters then the vacum line is bad do them one at a time
also check you egr valve and pcv valve and map sensor

Sounds like a typical coolant temp sensor going bad. It's the one by the thermostat.
