This is most likely one of two issues. First is a fuel issue so we need to start with this and find out what the pressure is and then we can go from there.

Once we know what the fuel pressure is when this happens then we can make a better decision.

However, if the pressure is ok then we need to check the engine for a vacuum leak which is the next most likely cause of this.

Let's start with this and we can go from there, but I suspect we will find the issue with these two things.

Thanks
