Lately, my car has been bogging in any gear from like 2500 - 3000RPM. It feels like my car just runs on way less power in that range (like it revvs fine up to that, then goes weird, then revvs fine) What should I check? MAF? Spark plugs?

how long has it been since tune up?if it started all at once, then probobly not a "tune up" item, more like an injector, maf,cts, ect...

Make sure plugs are properly gapped. I had surging problems at multiple RPM ranges and the gaps on my plugs were wayyy off! Switched to Nology Silverstones and it worked fine since then. A full tune up will be the best idea though. Easy and cheap.

i had the same issues....bogging at 3k rpm, then sporadically all over......when i bought the car i was "told" that he did a full tune up.....

but, after checking the wires and plugs...the plugs were NASTY, and the plastic was cracking on the wires...i replaced both last ngiht and she runs like a champ.
