Loss of Power

I have been reading posts in this forum for a couple of weeks and finally decided to join. There is a lot of great information here. I have searched through many threads hoping to find the solution to my problem before asking it, but didn't find it so here goes. I have just bought a 95 SE 5-speed with a 152000 miles for $2000. The car seems to be in great shape, but on occasion the car just suddenly loses power. Like it is not getting fire or gas. It only lasts for a few seconds, and I usually push the clutch and rev it a little to help it go away. It has happened in all gears. I have tried injector cleaner, plugs and fuel filter. Any other suggestions?

MAF maybe or something electrical. Hooking the car to a scan tool to see if it's throwing codes is a good starting point.

#1 check for codes (read the FAQ's)
#1 again...Clean your throttle body (FAQ's)
#2 If those don't work, then sell me the car for $50.00. I'll pay cash.
