Try the MAF sensor or the IAC.

Fix the timing? You shouldn't touch the timing. Timing is controlled by the computer.

Did they put wires on it when they did the plugs? Also, check for vacuum leaks at the vacuum tree on the drivers side by the firewall.

Check the fuel filter and pump pressure. This would explain the 60 MPH part of the problem.
