Default need help with my 95 5.0!!

i havent posted here for a while due to being really busy with school and work but i have been having some problems with my car. when its running on the lower rpms it really sputters and it doesnt feel like it pulls like it use to when i shift into 2nd. i have yet to check the spark plugs or wires but i recently changed the wires. i plan to do everything tomorrow so is there anything else i have to look for? thanks in advance

Did you clean your Mass Airflow sensor? I would do that first. Then change your plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and fuel filter.

Try to get your hands on a code reader and pull the codes when the car is running. Also, you could have a clogged fuel filter. Luckily those are dirt cheap($8 at Walmart).

Correct, the filter is not in the tank. It is right in front of it. It's held in a golden canister

I would pick up an OEM cap and rotor. If it hasn't been changed in a while, now would be a good time. Also,(I don't think this is the problem), but take your TFI module, located in the passenger fender(in a silver box) to get it tested. Most auto shops can test it for free. Autozone will for a fact. Good luck!
