Change the fuel filter,if this does not help,have a fuel pressure check done on the fuel pump,it may be weak.

sounds like the fuel pressure regulator,also make sure the fuel pump and sending unit are working properly. happened to 99 olds of mine! good luck

IF YOU HAVING TROUBLE REMOVING OLD FUEL FILTER.LET THE GARAGE DO IT.

definetly, you have to check injectors electrically as well as physical condition, also the harness for injectors is a common cause check for a break in the wires take your time go through harness little a time checking for cracked wires.

FIRST THING IS TO CHANGE FUEL FILTER! Also have fuel pump checked and have a compression test done.

Do you remember the last time the fuel filter was change? If you don't, do that first, it could be pluged. If that don't work or is not an issue, have a fuel pressure test done to see if fuel pump is weak, and ready to go out, or already has.
