Both ends of the ground cable should be clean as a whistle.

Ground strap(s) from engine to chassis can break away (rust belt especially). Test with jumper cable connected to engine exposed metal and battery terminal or chassis metal. I often use the strut mount bolts to ground engine to. Not strut main bolt. The peripheral ones.

On the fuel business, I would change the fuel filter and run some sea foam through the gas tank. Your injectors could be somewhat obstructed - however, you should get misfire OBD codes if injectors are clogged.
