I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter twice in the last 3 months thinking maybe it would fix my issue, but it hasn't what happens is. when I'm pulling away from a stop sign or red light it sputters and has a real weak acceleration, it has weak power. if I put some of that fuel treatment in the gas it runs a little better but not much.. I'm guessing it may be the injectors? What do y'all think?

Good morning,

I would start with the basics. How old are the plugs, wires, cap and rotor? If you have any worn parts there, it will cause the engine to act like this.

Are there any codes set?
