Fenili, do you have a fuel pressure checker? If not i would get one they are only about 45 bucks. Worth every penny to find out if it is a fuel pump or filter problem. My car did the same thing recently. I was idling it in the garage doing other work on my car and i let it run out of gas. After putting more in the symptoms were the same as you describe. Put a pressure tester on it and although the fuel pump sounded fine, it was only putting out a little less than 20 psi. Way less than the 58-60 psi needed on these engines.

well i got home and parked my car in the garage and had the charger on it for a few hours it did not even reach full yet and i thought what the hell i will try to start it and see if it idles or not and so i started it and was idling and running like nothing was ever wrong with it now that lets me know that i have something drawing power when it is parked so i will test a few things and it should be good as new. i hope your hunt goes just as easy
