It has brand new plugs, wires, and coil packs. Fuel filter is fairly new and the MAF and IAT sensors were cleaned with dielectric cleaner. Another symptom is, under WOT at lower RPM, it has a repetitive hesitation, almost like a misfire.

I'm assuming it's fuel-line related. Should I start with injectors, filter, pump?

TIA

PS, don't mind the filthy engine bay...

Is it throwing any codes? and have you done a fuel pressure test?

ALWAYS start trouble shooting with the misfires (after checking the charging system).
