Check fuel pressure and spark. Also recommend getting a compression test

Guru9ZDH7W I'm betting you've checked everything from injectors to driveline and wheel bearings....have you checked the ebrake cable (could be that one tire is a little tight so it keeps the brake pad against the rotor/drum) Cleaned throttle body?
