Rough how? It might not be ignition related (and if you've changed all that most likly it isn't). Tried cleaning your injectors? How long has it ben since you changed the fuel fliter? Just a thought it might be that your fuel systme is really dirty.

The cap isn't what goes bad on the Optis most of the time, should have changed the whole unit.

any codes (the computer will tell what cylinder is dead) what kind of gas (using the cheapest available injectors may be dirty) start simple check vaccuum hoses replace fuel filter (every other oil change it should be done) run a can of seafoam through it won't hurt

fuel filter will do that, do a brake stand (don't let the tires break lose hold firm pressure) does it stumble under load?
