When was the last full tune up performed? Any warning horn/fault data retrieved? Does the engine start and idle when cold? Is this TBI or MPI?

So many things. Fuel pumps and pressure okay at the rails? Fuel regulator clogged with paint?

If there ever was a problem with water in the fuel it could be rust from the inside of the fuel rail getting into the fuel injectors.
