Unhappy car died is it cursed?

got a lexus sc300 love at first sight

no told me she was the devil

she gave me the ride of my life.

one week ago it started idle rough didn't think much of it but the next day
idle rough and hesitates so i replace the plugs and ran seafoam ran like new.

next day started the same thing so took it to toyota dealer they say rotor and plugs and wire are bad so i replaced them and reset the computer

ran even better.


today started it idle rough and when i gave it gas it bucked and died took 5 mins to get started and made it home.
now if you give it gas it bucks if you let off the gas it wont die
give it gas it dies

help please
