I had to replace my fuel filter, fuel pump, plugs, coils, fuel regulator, air filter. I did this because I ran out of gas and I didn't have power. It ran good for 2 weeks and then just lost power again. It sat up for 2 days and it started up real good. I top it off it ran good for a few days. Then the same problem no power. What could it be?

Hello,

This sounds like you have a fuel pump going out. To be sure we need to check the fuel pressure. Here is a guide to help and instruction below on how to change the pump out:
