Default Sluggish at low rpm

Hey, my car is performing really poorly at low rpm. I need to have the injectors cleaned but i don't think thats totally the problem. I have also been told that the timing belt needs to be replaced at the fuel pump needs to change. Could these things be causing the poor performance?

Its a 98 eclipse gst spyder. No mods (as yet) pretty much stock. Its at 98,000 miles and was lady driven until me. I just bought the car a couple weeks ago and I had a general tune up done - injectors changed, oil change etc. Any thoughts?

ok ill throw out my .02 people can correct me n add as they feel needed, i have a 97 GS-T if i was you i would replace yur plugs n check your wires, i firmly stand behind NGK i would suggest you getting some BPR8's, when i bought my GS-T it had 86k on it n the previous owner put Bosch platnum 4s in it n it cooked my wires so check your wires also.The timeing belt should be changed every 60k miles or so. i myself dont trust the corner lot shop n had mine chaged at the dealership to make sure it was done right. another thing to change would be the fuel filter cheap (30 bucks) n easy to install its just kinda a bitch haven to pull the battery n everything to get to it but youll see its not hard. oh and unless its been done recently id have your other belts changed as well kinda cheap insurance. i would start there n start elimanting options.once you get it running dont forget to do your free mods[8D] it being a drop top youll need the extra to move the more weight
