You may have leaky injectors. Do like inafogg says and put a fuel pressure guage on the fuel rail and turn the key to on, but don't start the engine. Then turn it off and see if the pressure remains for 10 minutes or so. If not, fuel is either leaking back into the tank or leaking into the engine. Leaking into the engine will cause those symptoms.
