Answer
Ron,
The symptoms you described does sound like the there is a fuel supply problem.  There could be a clog in the fuel filter, bad pressure regulator, or even a weak fuel pump.  It's possible that you could have an air flow problem as well.  Restricted intake air flow or exhaust restrictions can cause your problems as well.  

You can call around to other local mechanics to see if they can find the problem.  Many may only charge you if they find and fix the problem, unlike the dealership which will charge you for any time spent.
Good luck!
