hard dipping when on stop light waiting for green light

before i go check in my car at the mechanic i want to ask you guys....what i should do first

>>>> have a 95 max 115,000 miles auto....car runs perfectly but one problem when im on a stop light the car has hard dipping like its going to die but it never does or yet has not.... above 30 mph or so no more feel of dipping over loosing power..from 0-25 mph or so when i press gas it kinda has hard time getting power..

here are some things i changed already problem for about 4 months now...

fuel filter
all sparks plugs
used fuel injectors cleaner twice
try to run on high octane gasoline.


WHAT ELSE SHOULD I TRY?

pull your codes

Pull your codes, its in the stickies here. Any previous mods? TB coolant bypass? Check your IACV. EGR hanging open maybe.

By 'hard dipping' I assume you mean a misfire?

Have you checked your coils yet?

Odometer?

Were you looking for a specific value, or a difference in values across all of them?

Could also ohm out the injectors.

I had a similar problem. Changed plugs from Autolite to NGK and it went away.
