The car has never stalled - always idles just a shade under 1000 RPM while in neutral. It pulls just fine in the higher RPMs, it just seems to be mis-firing between 2 and 3 thousand RPM. The check engine light has never come on.
Anyway, like I said when I'm moving through the gears I have to push alot more fuel to the engine than usual to get it to rev higher, and avoid the lurching/shuddering/mis-firing. On the highway, it doesn't pull well in 5th gear anymore - but it always used to.
I just had the brakes done for about $500, so I'm frustrated at the prospect of having to drop another huge wad of cash on my car.
I really appreciate everyone's suggestions so far.
