sounds like a timing issue. to make sure its not the fuel system have a technician spray brake cleaner in the intake and see if it will keep running then you know you have an issue in the fuel system. or a safer way is to have a fuel pressure guage attach to the fuel rail and see if the pressure is steady before replacing filter or pump.
