Plugs have been debated here endlessly, but as a guideline, Bosch H9DC before 5/88 and H9DCO after 5/88.
Could you have killed a sensor by putting one tank of 87 octane in the car? Of course its possible but not as likely as by substituting proper parts with known cheap substitutes which provide the wrong resistance at the wrong place in the electrical circuit. Start with the plugs and wires. I will leave others to comment on cap and rotor, but believe you will find the first two items will resolve the bulk of the problem.

I thought about this too after reading yesterday. The only issue with this is that it would not run like it is. I am replacing with MB recommended parts next week. I really think that the Cat is clogged. I am going to disconnect it this weekend and see if it changes anything. If it does I am going to punch it out and replace the entire exhaust next month. Thanks for the advice and I will post what I find.
