There could be leaks in the fuel system or fuel contamination, the filter can be partially clogged and restricting the gas/fuel flow or it could also be necessary after the fuel pump has been replaced, the fuel injectors have been cleaned or replaced, or any work has been done on the gas fuel tank.
