will be driving, and go to press the gas pedal and the car will kind of act like it is out of gas - if I press the gas pedal harder to give it a boost, it does fine. I have tried adding fuel injection cleaners and it seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions?

rent a pressure tester from the parts store and check the fuel pressure.

No, the check engine light does not come on.

As far as having the fuel pressure checked, I wouldn't know where to begin :)
