 Have the pump tested to see that it is providing the correct pressure. I had 
a Rabbit once with trash in the gas tank... In it, I had two pumps that 
didn't stop all together, but just stopped providing high enough pressure to 
open the injectors. I forget what the actual pressure is... It should be 
pretty easy to find. The important thing is to not let some idiot at a parts 
store stick his jumper cables to it and tell you it's good just because it 
runs.

   Bosh pumps are $300+ - Generic replacements run about $80.

Hope this helps.
