I'm thinking perhaps the fuel pressure regulator? When I checked the other day before dropping the car off at the shop again, I did check the fuel pressure and it was fine. I'm going to call the mechanic in a bit to see how things are going, so I will bring this up with them.
 
Fuel filter was last changed about a year ago. They're cheap and it may need it, so might as well get it done. :)
