My car definitely has a grudge of some sort against me
When the engine is warm it chugs and stumbles at anything over quarter throttle.
Its really getting on my nerves cause I can't accelerate at any sort of reasonable rate anymore without the engine stumbling on me.
What could cause this

Have you changed your fuel filter? Also, you can check your spark plugs. Those are probably the easiest and cheapest things you can check that would cause that problem. It's probably the fuel filter though.

how much would it cost to replace approximately? I know the part would probably be about $10 or so but the labour is waht gets ya...

You should also check your plug wires. Good wires ($50 NGK) will usually last about 60-90k miles. Cheap wires ($20) are lucky to make it 15-20k before breaking down. What happens (in laymen's terms) is the pieces that go into the head crack and the spark energy leaks out rather than going to the plug.
