I had a similar problem. Turned out to be two clogged injectors.

Step one: Spend $20 on a good fuel pressure gauge.

Step two: Verify that the pressure is correct. 30 PSI IIRC, I'm way too lazy to look it up right now. (I do know that the Haynes manual has it right)

[rant]There's someone else on this board that is having problems that could be related to fuel pressure. Will he check it? Noooooooooooo.... He'd rather push his car off a bridge![/rant]

Here's a shade-tree way to check for clogged injectors without pulling them all and checking the pattern (which is the right way.): Bump the pressure up 4 to 6 PSI, and see if it gets dramatically better. If it does, get your Visa card out. And set your pressure back to spec.

If not, set your pressure back to spec, and hope that someone who knows what they're doing will read your post.
