Check your fuel pressure. EFI needs something like 45 psi to operate correctly. Cant remember the exact amount.

A TBI motor doesn't run with that much fuel pressure, more in the high 20s to low 30s.

Is the car throwing a check engine light? If yes, pull the code and see what it says. your problem could be anythign from a bad fuel pump to a clogged filter to a bad TPS or MAP sensor.
