ok ill giveit a try.//..,.,,. ok seeing how you have checked the fuel filter,.somthing i have not heard you say is that yer sure the fuel pump is ok.,.,i would be wondering what kinda shap it is in,.[working or not]

i have had cases where ive bought fuel pumps put themin and discoverd it was defective fromthe start,.,..(auto zone products lol.)
If fuel delivery isnot your problem then parhaps it is electrical.....And one ormore of the injectorsis not firing correctly there is alotof folks here who can assist with ways of testing the above mention parts.,.,good luck and keep us posted,.,.,.,.,.,.....,

my fuel pump does work because i did not have this problem until i took out my cat and replaced it with a straight pipe after i did that is when this problem started happening but my cat was hollowed out so... would vacuum problems cause this?
