hows the spark plugs and wires?

^^^^ Also have you ran any Fuel injector cleaner? maybe their clogged.

Also, hows Cap N Rotor? sounds like a fuel filter problem but its new or fuel starvation problem.

Raise you're idle screw maybe?

The spark plugs/wires are new, the old ones look good too. In the next hour I will get the fuel injectors and check to see if they are clogged. and I will try the idle. We let you all know the results.

what about the fuel pressure regulator... does it hold psi or drop after a while?

is the check light engine on?

if it has to do with ur fuel..i would buy a bottle of LUCAS fuel injector cleaner to see if that would help. cuz my wifes car was running lean and i added the LUCAS and a couple of miles of driving it the check engine light turned off
