Have battery, alternator, and starter tested with a load/current device to evaluate.

Check fuel pressure to make sure it builds back up or maintains correctly after shutoff [looking for injector, hose, regulator leaks].

All of these things can be tested in less than 2 hours by an expert certified technian.

If you're also getting a strong fuel smell when it cranks, don' mess around - get it checked out ASAP! Could cause some major damage.
