stuttering, lack of power, hesitation,

Whens the last time your fuel filter was changed? because a clogged filter will restrict the flow and have similar symptoms.

How old looking is your fuel filter? If its still nice and shiny then it was replaced.

Isn't a 2005 is it? May have the infamous injector issue if so.
