well, first off see what the fault is. As for the 7 cylender thing, sounds like it needs a set of glo-plugs. Is the engine ok until 2K rpm? sounds like low line pressure, when is the last time you changed the fuel filter? Your pump might be on its way also with 317K. See if you can go to autozone or somewhere and borrow a fuel pressure gauge and see what the pressure is and what it is supposed to be, sounds like glo-plugs and an injector pump. Whenever it change glo-plugs i change the glo-plug relay also, would not hurt anything.
