Engine starts great and idles for a few minutes just fine. Then after I cruise down the road ussually 5-20 minutes later and come to a complete stop the car will suddenly loose alot of power and start vibrating when accelerating. Then you can smell alot of unburnt gas from the exhaust. The engine surges in and out from running properly as im cruising down the road, sometimes it will run properly for an entire 60 minute drive, othertimes it will start bogging down minutes after start up.
To date I've changed: Spark plugs, Wires, Coil Packs, Fuel Filter and have used Fuel injector cleaner (Pour in gas tank stuff) Checked for codes, None came up.

Welcome to the forum, use gage and check fuel pressure. If you don't have a gage, some of the national brand autostore will loan a gage. Also, pull vac line off pressure regulator, see if any gas comes from line. Cts could cause a problem, as well as injectors. Make sure battery has a full charge, connections are good. Charging system ok?

Thanks, Im going to preform all these tests before bringing it in, I'll let you guys know how it goes. By the way this webpage kicks butt. The 10 minutes it took me to upload this question could have saved me hours and hours of time.
Thanks again.
