Test the fuel pressure, it should read 60-66 psi. Also the throttle position sensor and the manifold absolute pressure sensor.

When was the last tune-up?
Could be a weak ignition coil.

The fuel pump which was replaced right before my posting was messed up due to some bad gas. We replaced it again & it's working fine now. I was ASE certified in engine repair & am in the processd of getting my CAT(erpillar) certification through a local college so it's not like I don't know anything about cars. I work on semi trucks & heavy equipment for a living & have been doing it for the last 25 years. I was just at a loss the day I posted the problem considering I had replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, the fuel injector & the 02 sensor & 2 days later it started doing it again. I do appreciate the effort anyways.
Thanks
Tom
