You want to ask the mechanic to do things you can't do, because he/she has more experience or better tools.
You'll get timing checked with the tune-up - that could be a large part of what you see. But use the mechanic's experience to look for vacuum leaks. Yes, if the fuel filter is old replace it, but you might want the mechanic to check the fuel pressure - he'll have the tools for that. Low fuel pressure can cause bad starting, poor idle, and no power.
Have the mechanic do a compression test. 8 valve engines need valve jobs on occasion - a compression test will help pinpoint the problems.
Good luck!
