I would take a good look at your fuel pump. If it looks to be the original pump or 10 years or older replace it. You can get one at your local auto parts house. There is a diaphragm inside the pump which deteriorates due to the ethanol in the gas. I have a few stations where I live that have ethanol free gas. If you google ethanol free gas you will find a web site that list the stations that have it by state.
