I purchased this car in May of this year (2012) with a fuel problem. Sent it to a shop and had to replace the injectors and fuel pressure regulator. Car worked amazingly until a few weeks later when it started losing power little by little. Soon it was impossible to run the a/c while driving. At stop lights or signs, I had to turn the a/c off to give the car a little more power to go. Now the car runs badly, shakes and makes a loud humming/whistling sound from under the rear end. The louder it gets the more power the car loses soon it becomes impossible to accelerate and it just kills. The guy who owned the care before me said he's had the fuel pump changed 3 times. Can someone please help me, the car is really a great car but it's driving me crazy. It only has 65K miles. It's 3300 v6 motor. Here's a list of things I've had changed since buying the car in May 2012. * Fuel Pressure Regulator * Fuel Injectors (all 6) * Fuel Filter * Spark Plugs * Spark Plug Wires * Coil Packs (all 3) SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
You describe a failing fuel pump. The fact he had it changed 3 times tells me the quality of the pumps was not great, or there is a problem with venting or something else.
If he did not change the fuel filter the pump would fail quickly. Since you changed the filter the next pump may last a long time.
A quality brand makes a big difference in this component.

most likely idle air control sensor or low engine coolant I know sounds funny but IAC uses coolant to regulate idle. Idle air control valve or throttle body positioning sensor.

Yep...try replacing your coil pack....

could it be the A/C pump kicking in. might be boging down the motor or electrical circuit, not letting the injectors get enough power. This could happen if the bearings are going bad in th A/C pump or there is a short in it. Just an idea. sounds like you have done the main components.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks ? I would check first for vacuum leaks then check the timing.
