Default 97 civic ex coupe power loss

Hi guys I am new here. The search isn't working so if this is a re-post I'm sorry. I am hoping some of you can give me some ideas about my situation.

I have a 97 civic ex coupe. I think the motor is a D16 series (I will get you specific info if it is extremely relevant) with 160k miles. I have owned it for about 2 years and I got it with ~136K miles. I am not sure about repair history before me, when I bought it, it needed CV joints and I have done regular maintenance , changed the oil every 3k miles etc.

Recently I started noticing that from about 2k-3k rpm the motor seems to bog down. I replaced the plug wires, the distributor and the rotor. A few months ago it also had a new air filter and spark plugs. There is no check engine light , and gas mileage has not suffered , still get around 30 mpg. The engine starts just like it always has - right away with no fuss, and idles at about 700 rpm. I am thinking it may be a fuel filter, but I thought the idle and starting would be affected.

If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear it.
Thanks again for reading!
