Don't go throughing any more parts at it until you get a scanner on it and see
what codes might be there. The other thing that's easy to do is get a pressure
gauge on the fuel rail and watch the fuel pressure as you drive. If the pump is
going out or there is a clog in the system the fuel pressure will drop as the
load on the engine increases.
