Is it when you got your foot in it/ like it running out of fuel or getting a lean fuel condition?

How about you fuel filter.
 
I have the exact same complaint, feels like someones turning the fuel off, my plugs come out white as well as the oxygen sensor, I have done nothing but dump money into this thing to try and correct it. I have replaced o2 sensor, IAC, plugs wires,cap,rotor, fuel pump,fuel injectors, pressure regulator,swapped throttle bodies,coolant temp sensor,intake air temp sensor, map sensor to no avail, still runs lean and intermittently backfires like its running out of gas. Is yours an Intermittent problem??Possibly burnt or damaged valves?maybe?
