Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Has the check engine light come on?

Let me know.

Here is a how to for checking fuel pump pressure. You will need a gauge, but most parts stores will lend or rent them to you.

I also recommend having the computer scanned to identify why the check engine light is on. Most parts stores will do it for free, and it may help identify the problem.

Let me know if you have other questions.
