LOL similar to my problem misfiring and farting when you stap the accelerator?
First thing to do is check for logged fault codes: Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)
Next up I'd check for a vacuum leak - check every vacuum hose on the throttle body/fuel carbon canister and vacuum reserve ball. Also I'd change the fuel filter. Check the vacuum line that connects to the fuel pressure regulator....remove/inspect and if line has fuel in it this means reg is stuffed.
Good Luck.
cheers for the help, ill let you know how i went.
