check engine light on? several sensors could cause this issue including MAF sensor and crankshaft sensor.

check engine light is not on ... thinking maybe throttle position sensor ... maybe bad gas? ... crankshaft and camshaft sensors appear to be ok

possibly clogged up catalytic converter or exhaust blockage. any type of sensor failure will almost always set off the check engine light. watered down or contaminated fuel would most likely cause engine to idle rough along with lack of power.

true ... was thinking i would disconnect exhaust at manifold for a short drive to see if catalytic converter or exhaust blockage is the problem but will wait a couple of days to see if clogged injectors work themselves clean
