if compression is within 10 PSI on all cylinders then check the lift pumps,VST tank filter and medium pressure inline filter.
on the inline filter you MUST use the correct oerlicker clamp and the proper setting tool to install the new filter.
once all the above are tested check high pressure fuel rail pressure. this can be done with the diagnostic software or the tune up spec guide or service manual and a multimeter.

your diagnosis was right on rebuilt pull pumps changed all filtres and plugs everything is back to normal thanks

Installation of a Racor 2 Micron fuel/water seperator could help reduce recurrence of these issues. Good Luck!
