If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free. Also, check fuel pump pressure to make sure it is within spec. Make sure there are no intake leaks. Check throttle position sensor.

If you have good pressure, good spark, timing is right, no vacuum leaks, the only thing left is proper fuel injection and engine compression.
