New fuel filter, check for a failing FPR (fuel pressure regulator)? When they fail the will leak fuel directly into the intake causing issues. Leaking or blocked injectors? Easiest way to test is to lift the plenum (injectors are attached to bottom of plenum), lift plenum put some clean paper towels under the injectors and cycle the key so the injectors prime (all injectors should squirt a little fuel). Check that all have squirted about the same amount then change the paper towels and look to see if any leak fuel out over time.

Another possibility is a failing purge solenoid.
