Default power problems

well my 2.3 seems underpowered at the bottom end. it lags then picks up near the top. i checked the sparke plugs and air filter and there both good. i was wondering what else i can check ?? could it be the bad gas in it from sitting?any help would be greatly apreciated!!

check your fuel filter or fuel pump maybe one is cloged or failing, also injectors could be dirty
