Hi there. Though there are a lot of reasons that will cause this most of the time on this vehicle it is due to a failing crank or cam sensor. both are common failures. I usually start by scanning the computer for codes to see if the computer is registering anything and then monitoring the sensors signals to see what may be failing. If nothing is found at that time then I test the fuel pressure to see if there is a drop in pressure causing this.
