Default One Bumpy Ride :/

hey guys.

I'm drivin a 94 lexus es300. I bought the jawn from an auction in allentown PA an I live around philly. The car came with abt 230,000 miles on it.
Anyway, when I start my car up it runs fine. Once my engine gets hot it starts to idle rough and lose mid-range torque. Also, the ride is really bumpy and I think it might be the rear hub.
I put new spark plugs in, a new fuel injector (to replace a dead one), a new timing belt, water pump, power steering belt, exhaust, brake pads and rotors, rear struts, tires, and radiator hoses. I changed all of the fluids and ran about 4 or 5 tanks of gas with fuel injector cleaner through the engine to burn off any sludge.
It still has the same problems. whts wrong w my car guys?

did you try distributor cap and rotor? does it throw any codes? and what do you mean by bumpy, it rides rough on flat even surfaces?

yah replaced distributor cap an cables. an yah it rides bumpy on smooth surfaces too but tht could be a drivetrain prollem. How would I check codes?

..also, idk if this helps, but the car does smell like it burns oil when its running.
