Welcome to the forum. How long since a tune-up? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Go from there. If you don't have a gage, some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. Also, have them check for any possible trouble codes. They used to do that for free. You can ask.
