Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. Also, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. You can use a known good spark plug or spark tester. Pull a plug wire loose from spark plug, place tester in the boot, ground metal part of plug to metal part of engine, engine cranking, watch for spark. Sorry about the car trouble, happy holidays.
