Water remover does...

If you have not done this yet, I would give it a shot.
Put a bottle of HEET into the tank. Drive it till its empty and refill with quality fuel. It will still run like crap until the HEET mixes with the water and the water is completely burned out... It does not "fix" the issue immediately... It typically takes 2-3 tanks after the heet for it to be completely out.



SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

I think a clogged or failing CAT could also cause these issues...
