I wouldn't be surprised if it's the fuel pump. Mine went at 135K miles. There is an easy (relative to your skills of course) way to check it. Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel rail (it may be under some pressure so keep a rag over it) and have someone turn it over. If fuel sprays (be ready with a jar) your pump is good. If there is nothing, you need a fuel pump.

Replacing the fuel pump is easier than the above check. I replaced the CMP sensor and didn't need to. I wish I had known about the above check.

Good luck.
