The CIS fuel injection system needs to be CLEAN--even a little bit of dirt can cause big problems. Run some Techron (available at your Chevron Station) through. If it seems to help, do it again. You may have some gum/varnish/other deposits that need to cleaned out--Techron is great for this. If the problem continues, I would look at fuel pressures. For this you need a good reference book (Bosch Fuel Injection, by Charles Probst) and a set of CIS gauges ($60 from J. C. Whitney). Let me know how it's going and we will work from there.
