Hi,

The first thing I recommend is to check the fuel pump pressure. You may have a faulty fuel pressure regulator.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

If you look below, I attached the manufacturer's pressure specifications.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Take care,

joe
