Has the check engine light come on? Also, have you checked fuel pump pressure?

Here is a "how to" for testing fuel pump pressure. It is a video that explains the hows and what to look for.

Many parts stores will rent the gauge. If you can't find one, they sell them at the Test Equipment Store site on this page. they are not very expensive.

Let me know what you find.
