Need Advice SC400 stumbling
So it started slowly last night and progressively got worse. The car stumbles (feels/sounds) like it's missing at idle. It gets worse under light load/acceleration. However, as soon as you hit the gas hard it pulls just fine all the way to redline, shifts fine etc. I pulled the plugs (which i replaced the other day, and it ran perfect afterwards, and also passed emissions flawlessly the next day) and they are white. So obviously it's running lean, but i'm not sure why. I'm thinking maybe a clogged fuel filter? Maybe a bad MAF?
Any suggestions would be kindly appreciated. Thanks you guys.

It's been driving fine for weeks since i've bought it until last night. i can't imagine the belt could have hopped a tooth or something. wouldn't that throw a CEL also?
It's a '96 w/59k miles.

After everything still ran like ****, timing was fine etc etc. Pulled the #5 and 7 plugs out (where the misfires were) and it ran just fine with new plugs. WTF. Oh well.
By the way, anybody done caps rotors etc themselves? I don't think i need them, but it might not hurt to do soon.
