Hello, I'm Danny.
The first thing I would suggest is to perform a fuel pressure test to rule out a weak or failing fuel pump that is not supplying adequate fuel pressure. If you don't have access to a fuel pressure test most auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and can rent you one. Here is a tutorial showing what is involved on how to perform a fuel pressure test:

The fuel pressure specification for your car is with engine idling to be 28-36 PSI. Get back to us after performing this test with the results and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
