The first thing I would recommend is to check fuel pump pressure and the regulator. Go to our homepage under the DIY section. There is a "how to" that includes directions and a video showing how to check fuel pump pressure and the fuel pressure regulator. Try that and let me know what you find. Something tells me the pump is weak.
