No acceleration

Hey Guys,
I have a 1992 Rs Camaro V8 305. It starts up great the first time but has no acceleration. Then when you stop giving it gas it stalls. It then is really hard to start again. You can press the gas as hard as you want and it doesn't go anywhere. Just zero acceleration. The engine seems to run hot too. The temp gauge shows its fine though. I replaced the fuel lines (they were rusty) the fuel pump and filter. The injectors are fine and the spark plug lines are fine too. What is wrong?

if the fuel lines were rusty, how do you know the injectors are fine??
