It might be time to stop throwing parts at it and doing some diagnostic testing. I would start with the fuel pressure.

I think I have sufficient pressure because I replaced the fuel pump and added a second booster pump after the fuel filter.

No wonder you're having problems. What is the current fuel pressure?

I don't know, I don't have a gauge, but I replaced the regulator today. The booster pump is a 60 psi max, 31psi at idle.

I'm sorry. that's not the way we work. The vehicle requires a specific fuel pressure.
