It sounds like you have done a lot already. When it is running (in park or neutral) does the engine rev normally? Also, has the check engine light come on? Based on everything you have done, have you checked the intake for leaks, catalytic converter for being plugged, has the check engine light come on, has the crank sensor been checked?

Finally, does the engine start right back up for you?

Let me know,
Joe
