If you give it more than a quarter throttle lately it will lurch, seemingly die for a split second then go then die and either straighten out and take off or completely stall. If it stalls it WILL NOT restart without starting fluid sprayed into the intake. When it's not running I can spray some in it and it will start up and run as if nothing happened..until I go to get on the gas again. Seems to only do this hot. Occasionally just shutting it off while it's running normally and at temp will result in the no start condition as well.
Since it runs with starting fluid in all cases I think sparks okay, and since its able to run on with some help from the starting fluid I'm guessing it's a fuel issue? Injectors were supposed to be replaced by PO and they do look new. Same with fuel pump (although it's noisy.) It has a flexplate knock at the moment but I don't think that's related to this
I've tugged every wire I can see while it's running trying to get it to die and it runs fine. Any starting points?
