Default Idle Problem

Hey, just tryin to get the car running good for volksfest here, well anyways here is the problem.

94 gl 2.0, nothing special, the car runs good when it is cold, but when it gets to normal operating temp. it acts funny. When i come to a complete stop and let it idle for a bit the car starts idling wierd, jerking the car back and forth a bit, but not much. when taking off in 1st and giving it gas, it stutters and almost shuts off, so i am forced to give slow clutch feed when taking off. once i get moving in first and also in second i can definitely feel a huge power loss. recently changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and cleaned the throttle body. Kinda glad i changed the plugs cuz the guy who had it before me put the bosch platinum +4's in it, BIG MISTAKE. Tomorrow ill change the MAF and clean the idle air controller cuz apparently that might do the trick. Anybody have any ideas?
