Hello, how long since a tune-up? If you can't remember, I'd start there. Any trouble codes? At the least, you need an obd11 code reader, to check for codes.

First, I'd give it a tune-up. That includes using a fuel pressure gage and checking proper fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage, if you don't have one.
