Due to sitting for years and extensive water contamination. I've drained and changed almost every thing fuel related; tanks, filters, injectors, regulators, relays and ECU. Currently, my car has hard starting and has a loss of power when it hits 2000 rpms or so. I thought maybe it was the CAT(s), but they seem clear. It will idle ok, but when I attempt to accelerate. It boggs down with no power then will lunge forward, then bogg down again. Thank you.

can for codes and check feuel pressure with a gauge 35.5-37 psi also could be the electronic unit for the fuel injection or a basic engine problem.
