It's either a fuel or spark issue. Start by checking the fuel pressure. On your car it needs to be between 55 and 85 psi. Check this and get back to me, we will go from there.

The fuel pressure spec for this car is actually 35 to 55PSI key on, engine off. It will be slightly lower with the engine running.
