car will not accelerate and hard to start Sign In

I have an 02 Lancer Rally that sat for a while and when I baught it had no idea. I ran the car low on fuel and messed up the pump and replaced it. Since then I have replaced spark plugs, coil packs,mass air flow sensor, injectors, tps sensor,and fuel regulator. I have also flushed the fuel lines and tank has been cleaned out completely. The car cranks but not very easy and will idle very nice and you can rev the rpms up slowly but if you try at a fast pace the cat will die off. You have to feather the gas peddle to keep started and then get back down to idle. I need help to figure out what else to check or to replace. Thanks for any help. Rusty

I didn't see a new fuel filter on your list. Check fuel pressure as even a new pump could be bad,

The car had no idea that you bought it? I bet the car was surprised.

How long had it been sitting around?
