Scan for codes to find out what the code is that is causing it

Have battery checked for condition because low battery will cause false codes then have a pro check this because of you have a lean condition as well as converter dcodes which can cause your problem.

We don't know that then have a pro check it as thee are some codes there that are extremely hard to diagnose. Also have fuel pressure checked with a gauge.
