Havent really found a clear answer to this question through searching, so i'm posing it straight up. What kind of symptoms would a bad ACT cause? And would it throw a code? The same questions apply to the ECT. Currently my car seems to bog in the low rpms from a start (it stalls easily if i dont give it enough gas, and if i'm starting up a hill, it doesnt seem to matter how much gas I give it, it still bogs).

Those are really the only 2 sensors I havent replaced since i've gotten the car so i'm looking at them first. I havent replaced the MAF either but its been cleaned and its not throwing a code. I guess either an answer to the title, or being pointed in the right direction as to the potential cause of my problems if its not either of those sensors would be awesome. BTW, i'm not getting any codes. Thanks.

How old is the fuel filter? How about the plugs and wires? Have you checked the plug wells for oil?

all of the above is A-OK. I have performed extensive maintenance on this engine, down to the valve stem seals. Whatever it is, chances are, i've fixed it which is what is getting to me so much about this. What more can I do to this car to make it run better? I wish i wasnt so addicted to the secondaries, or i'd just friggen sell it.
