How long since a tune-up? Check for any visible gas leaks. Check the emissions system. Any applicable trouble codes? If you have a gas leak, I wouldn't drive it. To check codes, yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader. Some of the national brand autostores used to check codes for free.

Use a gage, not only check for correct fuel pressure, see if pressure holds after pump turns off?
