I put new crank and cam sensors on it yesterday, but still the same problem.

This sounds like the fuel pump is going out. here is a guide to confirm the issue with how to change the pump out in the diagrams below. You can get a pressure gauge from the auto parts store for cheap or free in most cases.

Regulated Pressure 58 PSI
