There are a number of things that will cause this, but we need to focus on two things. First is a vacuum leak.

Here is a guide that will show us how to test this.

If the engine does not have a vacuum leak, then we need to move onto a fuel pressure issue.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Lastly if this all checks out then this guide will take us to the next steps:

Let's run through all this info and we can go from there depending on the results. Thanks
