I would put my money on it needing the injector set. They have come down considerably in price as of late.

Yea sounds like one of the injectors is sticking. Have you tried a fuel system cleaner? Not the crap you buy at the store.

Try going to a lube shop or something similar. Most of them offer a fuel system cleaner. It cost about $60 but ive heard it does a hell of a job.
