Hi,
Replace the fuel filter as the fist action. Often this is charged for - but not done on a service, and if blocked will starve the engine. Just done mine after 3 years - would not believe the cr@p that was in it.

Try again.

If not much difference, check the fuel pump in the tank, and any cables to it.
If this fails, the engine needs to **** the fuel more - and can lead to starvation problems too.

Change the air filter every year, as this is cheap and will give you better MPG anyway.

replace the fuel regulator,its about a $50.00 part and takes about 15 minutes to change,but first relieve the fuel pressure and you can do it in a couple of ways,hitting the fuel pump shut off swith(inertia switch)until the red button pops up,but remember to reset it when done,located either behind the passengers side kick panel or under the carpet in the middle under the dash then start it to run it out of gas which there will still be a little bit in the lines,...or drain it at the valve to check for pressure it looks like a valve stem for a tire.

Could be a bad Throttle position sensor, and starter solenoid.

REPLACE FUEL FILTER IF IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.ALSO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.CHECK FUEL PRESSURE.IT SHOULD BE 35 - 45 PSI. THE 4.9 ENGINE FUEL PRESSURE SHOULD BE 50 -60 PSI.IF FUEL PRESSURE IS GOOD.SCAN IT CHECK THE EGR VALVE / THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR / THE IDLE SPEED CONTROL / ALSO A FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR OR INJECTORS WILL CAUSE PROBLEM.CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTIONS TO THE IGNITION COIL AND DISTRIBUTOR.
