1. ignition wires, cap, rotor need to be changed about once per decade -
you
are due, change them. Use the OEM ones.
2. injector cleaner won't hurt, try it
3. plugs probably need to be changed - the manual has a recommended
interval - follow it
4. the AFM could be bad, but that usually shows up as a dead spot
5. check for vacuum leaks, your car is very sensitive to vac leaks (and to
clogged air filter)
