When's the last time you change the primary and the secondary fuel filter? this could also be caused by a restriction in the return line of the injection pump, when you opened up the fuel cap is the tank under extreme pressure? also with 250,000 miles is due for timing chain to be replaced if the chain and sliders are worn the injection timing will be incorrect and cause it to be sluggish.
