fuel pressure regulator, oxygen sensor, afm, fuel filter. I would first
unplug the oxygen sensor and see how that does. Drive w/ it unconnected
for a day or two. If that doesn't work, you'll need to pull out a volt
meter and check the continuinity across the AFM (big black box) as you
move the flapper thing...

more as needed.
