    clean the MAF, new spark plugs and maybe wires, change fuel filter, clean air intake filter and box, run some injector/fuel system cleaner through it.

    that's all the easy maintenance things i could think of off the top of my head.

      This is a good list of things to check: http://www.2carpros.com/first_things..._low_power.htm

      How old is the O2 sensor? Finding someone with an OBD2 scanner can show if the other sensors are giving proper readings too. If previous suggestions fail to give results then the issue is likely internal wear like piston rings or a stretched timing chain.
