This has been going on for quite some time and today, it stalled on me where I could not start it again. I had to leave it alone for a few hours and then I was able to start it but it still chugs quite a bit. I had a tune up done a few months back where the mechanic told me that there were 2 plugs misfiring so he changed the plugs and all the cables.
It did not fix the problem. I had the fuel pomp and filter changed on it once when it was bout 60000 miles. Could it be the problem again? I noticed like a humming noise that seemed to come from underneath on the drivers side.
Thanks

Yes the fuel pup or filter could be the problem again. You need to check the fuel pressure. Here is a how to. Let me know what you find.
