It could also be a misfire issue. When was the last the COP and plugs were changed?

Just curious my 02 screw only has a 4 speed auto and I thought that was the only auto trans they had in that gen. Is there a 5 speed auto I don't know about?

No there are only 4 speed automatics and 5 speed manuals. The OP has a 4 speed automatic that the fourth gear is an over drive gear. Many think when they feel the TC lock it has another gear.
