Loss os power

My car currently has a loss of power. It is not as fast as it should be. I only have 41k miles on it. Here's what I'm planning on changing. Anything else that should be looked over?

-new tires
-air filter
-alternator recall
-change fuel filter
-change knock sensor
-check o2 sensors
-clean throttle body
-NGK V-Power Copper Spark Plugs

well first, check for codes, then figure out if you need to change your knock sensor...if not it still might be bad but then you'd have power sometimes...check your air filter, then check your plugs, clean the TB, clean the IAC and change the fuel filter

Another thing you might want to try after you pull the codes from the computer is too dissconnect the battery to reset to computer. I know that the computers learns from how the car is driven and will retain & adjust from that info. And since your car is 7 years old & only has 41k miles on it, it probably has been driven that hard. So after you reset the computer take it out and floor that baby a few times. It might be something just that simple? Who knows...........
