Dakota running crappy (here we go AGAIN)

Ok,
 I don't know if I got a lemmon or what, but gosh damn I cant get this
thing running half decent for the life of me... Lately it seems like my
dakota has been sluggish, and slow throttle response...

Around 3000-3500 rpms it has a tad of a rattling noise, however not
audible at idle or WOT...

Also, seems like it takes a while to get started when its cold, and
really seems to be bogging down. I've been through god only knows how
many o2 sensors... And it never really seems to do anything for me...

My question, what on earth could be causing this poor performance? I
don't know what other sensors to check. I've more or less done the
typical tune up stuff to it.. (sparkplug wires, cap/rotor, sparkplugs)
plus a new pcv valve and the sparkplug wire re-route. Seems to be
something computer/sensor related... But I don't know.

Any advice at this point would be wonderfull!

WEs
