Default Missfire and sputtering on a 2000

Alright so here is the skinny
2000 AP1 with 70K miles. CEL showed up, noticed loss in power. Pulled codes and got miss fire on cylinder #2. Also random miss fires across all cylinders. Replaced map sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. Replaced coil packs, and plugs. Adjusted valves, only cylinder #1 and #3 were out of spec. Ran fuel injector cleaner.

Car still dips low in RPM during idle, clutch being depressed doesn't seem to change it. Cleaned out IAT. Seemed to improve but its still there.

Noticeably down on power with the A/C on.

CEL can be cleared but comes back after 15 minutes of driving.

Today she started sputtering when trying to accelerate. Always run 91 octane gas.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Take out your injectors and have them cleaned professionaly. If that doesnt fix your problem, then you probably have some bent valves.

Found a local shop that will do an injector cleaning. I will be performing a leak down and compression test this evening.
