I would replace fuel filter. I would also check fuel pressure and check for error codes.

Fuel psi should be anywhere between 15-30 psi I believe. They sell inline fuel pressure gauges. I'd buy one and install it permantly under the hood so you have quick reference for future power problems should they arise.

WOW well I just checked advance auto parts and they've got universal fuel pressure gauges. They're 1.5" in diameter and the attach to the fuel line but they're 49.99 for the auto meter ones and that's all they had. But they're a good investment because if fuel pressure is ever a cause for concern checking the psi is as easy as popping the hood! I'll have one soon as I find myself in the right place at the right time! Or when I need one!
