1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hello! I was wondering why my car is bogging out when I step in the gas? We have replaced the spark plugs, the fuel filter and one of the fuel injectors. It idles fine but when I step on the gas to go, it bogs out. Was wondering if it is dirty fuel injectors or something else? Thank you.
