    Sounds fuel related.

    Things I would be looking at:

    Filters
    Fuel pump (not sure if the VS has one or many)
    Injectors

    In that order.

    Good luck!

    How old is the fuel? If it has been sitting for a long time, the fuel might be "off". If you haven't already, put a fresh tank of premium through it and see if that sorts it out.
