Welcome.

My guess is the fuel filter.

Had exactly as you describe on a Ford Galaxy and there was air in the fuel system, the garage I used also used a non Ford filter.... it played up for well over a week. Took it to Ford who put an oem filter in and purged the rail and fuel system. Apparently they have a “special” tool to purge the system of air.... not sure if that’s true or not but it ran perfectly once Ford popped their filter in there.
