88 f-150 running rough.

well its been running rough for quite sometime, still halls **** surprisingly. took it in today for a tune up and diagnostics. well i found out i need fuel system cleaning BAD, a new fuel filter, pcv valve and svc, air cleaner filter, air breater filter, transmission flush, distributor cap, rotor, oxygen sensor............... total = 404.90. i had the tuneup, fuel filter, distributor cap and rotor put on. 130. im gonna do the air filters tomorrow myself, save me 10 bucks. you know considering how it runs when its not getting the proper fuel mixture, im wondering how this engine will perform when its going at 100%. well any suggestions or tips? its still runing rough with what ive done. of course some of the major stuff like fuel cleaning and o2 sensor hasn't been done yet.

My guess would be the O2 sensor. It's not that hard to do really.
