    It could be as simple as a vacuum leak. (loose or disconnected hose to the engine.)

    It could be a bad EGR valve, timing is off, bad gas, ignition module, spark plugs..

    I could list 20 more things. Maybe it's time to see a good mechanic?

    Best answer I can give you is stop wasting money by throwing parts at it!! The system is too complicated to guess...my bet is that you have already spent more than it would have cost to have a qualified mechanic check and repair it

    Well if it's like the one my brother had it was the fuel injector.

    It's the cheap kind that sits above the carburetor, there was two of them, only one was giving it fuel.
