Hesitation when accelerating

Hey everyone,

Need some help. I don't drive this car much, so it sits a lot. A few months ago I took it out and it started cutting out on me and then stalled altogether. I had to have it towed in. I never did a fuel filter on it yet, so I started there and the old filter had really nasty stuff coming out of it... looked like muddy fuel. I replaced the fuel filter and it seemed to run fine after that.

Now a few months later I took it out this morning and it idles fine, starts fine, I can lightly accelerate, but as soon as I lay into it more than half throttle its got MAJOR hesitation like it lost 4 cylinders.

Not sure where to start here, not sure if its fuel or ignition/spark. I was going to check the fuel filter again later.

Please help! Thanks!
