Starts perfect, idles fine but when it is accelerating it feels sorta flat.  Seems to be in any gear.  All tune-up related parts had been changed right before I bought it.(i have receipts)  I changed the fuel filter Tuesday to no avail.  I have also changed the blue temp sensor & ICU since I have had it.  I was going to check the basics first, compression, fuel pressure & spark but since it starts & idles so well I am not sure.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
