Can you verify that you have stock injectors and that your fuel pressure is set at 43.5 with no vacuum source. Sounds like you are running rich and slightly fouling plugs.

im not an expert.. but id try get new spark plugs... make sure there iridium and not platinum. Your wasting your money with platinum plugs they will burn out to fast and wont give the car what it needs.. if it still dont work my next guess would be the injectors could be leaking, its a very common problem with them... but easiest option to start with is the plugs.. hope that helps

Check to see that your injectors aren't leaking. Pull the rail with injectors intact, turn the key to let the pump prime, and if any gas leaks out check your o-rings and pintle caps. As Omega said, check the fuel pressure. If that's fine, pull all of your spark plugs. If only one or two are fouled, the injectors on those cylinders are most likely leaking and/or stuck open.

Sounds like your running on three cylinders. Make sure all the coil packs are screwed down. And make sure u have a spark on ever cylinder
