Inspect and test all the following listed below and get back with some results

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.

Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.

Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
