Hello, I'm Danny.
The first thing I would do is check the fuel pressure. It sounds like you might have a weak or defective pump that is not providing adequate fuel pressure. If you don't have access to a fuel pressure tester most auto parts stores have a tool loaner program that can rent you one. Here is a tutorial showing what is involved:

The fuel pressure specification for you car is 44-50 p.s.i. Let us know after testing and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
