Default Cause of lost power?

I know atleast 2 things that will cause this, low fuel pressure or dirty fuel filter. Also low oil pressure, which I do not have. Other then the fuel which I am getting a gauge for, what could some other incidents that cause loss of power?

First are you gettint a cel? o2 sensor going bad, some other sensor (map, tps)going bad and has yet to throw a cel(if you don't have one), in need of a tune up, valve adjustment needed, clogged injector(s), low compression, stale fuel, timing needs adjustment just to name a few.

Im not getting a CEL, im thinking about getting some new injectors soon anyways..I dont think the injectors have ever been changed on the car ...I have another question, would the idle air controler effect the power? My dad was messing around with it I hate him for it...Maybe not getting the right air fuel mixture cause of that..What should that be set at?
