    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.
