No check engine light? What about pending codes. Sounds like it's pulling timing.

you need to:

scan it but since you reset the ecu you wont have a code for a little while
check the timing with a light or with a scanner 8-10 at idle around 30-40 cruising at highway speed
probably a camshaft or crankshaft sensor, or at the least put a fuel filter in it

I would also suggest fuel filter to begin with. There's an excellent guide here to help you through the process of replacing it.
