no power?

I recently bought my bird and it doesnt seem to have the...UUMPH that it should i know that a 3.1L V6 doesnt act like a 5.7L V8 but it seems to me that it isnt giving its 100%. It has been sitting in a garage for about 6 months i think thats the whole problem. It has about 103K mi on it, but as soon as i got it i chainged the oil, filters, checked the trans fluid, brakes and i put some Fuel Injection Cleaner in the tank. I think i just need to run some tanks of gas through it but shoot me out a line on some help. thanks

Fuel cleaners are known to loosen up crud and block fuel filters. Check your fuel pressure, you've probably got another fuel filter change in your future.
