With a new one? I had the exact same problem 2 days ago and am waiting for the dealership to call me.
Fuel pump is suspected as the culprit - we'll see.
I'll give you an update as soon as I have something.

How many miles do you have in your engine? I came across this similar problem before I recieved my reman' but it was due to a loose positive terminal on the battery, then again, my engine lost compression 8,000 miles or so afterward. You need to find out if the spark plug, wires, and coils have been changed. Are the MAF/IAT and ES Sensors clean?

Could be any number of things, but unfortunately if the car was properly maintained previously I would say its blown.
First things I would check would be the simple stuff, electrical connections and the fuel pump.
Who put in the fuel pump? You can kink the line when you are replacing it if you are not careful, that could cause this problem.
