Losing power might not need a tune up- but u might need an idle control valve. It's the air flow control and sometimes it seems like you're losing power . The IAC VALVE is $77 + tas at O'rielly auto parts I just got one ... it'll take you 30-45 min to install.. and it's easy...

time for new plugs, check your air filter, switch to synthetic oil(just because it is better and it will help), run some gumout regane fuel system cleaner and clean your TB and IM with some seafoam and your car will respond better.
