This is what I’ve had done this week: replaced fuel pump /filter, replaced mas(?) air flow, replaced catalytic converters(4), lof, tranny service.  
  
 When I ease on the gas the car just jerks along like it’s flooded 'til about 30 mph then it’s fine. If I give a healthy goose to the pedal the lugging is detectable but not so pronounced. No stalling, just no power. It’s 312k now. P71.

Have you checked for a stretched timing chain?
