Did you try pulling the codes?

What about the fuel pressure? Are the spark plugs/wires/coil and everything good?

Something is going array in those cylinders then. I would do a compression test its not to much of a problem to do and we might get a clue from it about what to do next.

Be sure to pull the codes also.

Yeah, check compression, and did you check the fuel pressure?

And did you pull the codes?

If your fuel pump isn't grounded well enough, it may not be putting out enough pressure, with low fuel pressure, you'll have no power! :icon_idea:

I would check fuel pressure, and clean the grounds etc.
Check the voltage at the pump
