Are there any codes? Can you tell if the system is going rich or lean? Is the fuel pressure ok?

How would you be able to know what the code is? could it mean water in the tank?

To check codes on your vehicle, you may need an obd11 code reader. Some national brand autostores will check some codes for free.

It could be almost anything, right now, it seems like the system is going lean when you open the throttle. Can you check fuel pressure?
