At 2500 when driving the car hesitates REALLY bad, and doesn't calm down until I pretty much let it go back down to idle, at which point it will start idling again no prob. It still runs like crap when I first start it up though.
 
I don't think you've answered these questions yet:

1. Did you verify that the engine mechanical timing is correct?

2. Did you do a compression test? Check out or just replace the plugs while your at it.

I know it's a pretty tall order if your not too handy, but I think you need to investigate more.
 
Yea, man it sounds to me like your ecu took a sh!t mine done the same thing and the car fouled plugs, but also my timing had jumped 2 teeth. so check you timing marks and check your compression and take your ecu out and see if the caps are bad it will smell like rotton fish, but my guess is your ecu.
 
sounds like there could be alot of things it could be...i would check the compression and check your timing...then you may want to change your coils...may not be sending a hot enuff spark...also check your fuel injector wires...new plugs..change your fuel filter...then go from there....i hope this helps

some thing similar happend to me.
my car was running on 3 cyl spark was there just no fuel on one cyl.
i changed the ecu and it was good. two weeks later same thing i put my ecu in friends car it ran good i put back in my car it ran good. it was a loose wire at the ecu when it would go bad i would just touch teh wire then it would be good again.

dsms are fucking oil.
