  1. 1. Read the check engine codes. It could have a pending code even if the check engine light isn’t lit 2. Guessing is a good way to waste time 3. Speaking of guessing how old are the plugs and wires? 4. Are the plugs and wires OEM or NGK? 5. Pull the plugs and look for oil on the *external* part of the plugs/wires Misfire is more likely than O2 sensor. Symptoms vary and overlap. Clogged converter will get hot snd turn red. You may smell a burning type smell. Disconnect and drop the exhaust and see if it runs better but then again yours is likely rusty and problematic to remove. 90s EJ knock sensors crack all the time - by far the single most common sensor to cause problems. I’d pull the knock sensor (12mm bolt) on your Forster and see if it has signs of cracking on the base of it. O2 sensor - follow the wire up from it until you see the connector. It’s usually on the passengers side by the frame rail or axle. Of course you know they’re usually corroded rusted and hellacious to remove.

  4. I'd remove aftermarket remote start systems when I got them on used cars. They were nothing but junk. I'm sure there are good ones out there, pay for a good one.
