Sounds like a fuel pump problem. There is a fuel pump test lead under the hood near the under hood fuse block, its a single red wire with a pigtail connector on the end of it. You need to use a multimeter and set it to 10 amp dc scale and measure amp draw. To do this put one end or meter on fuel pump test lead and the other end to positive battery and check amp draw, you should have a minimum of 9 amps, if not fuel pump is bad.
