The car will crank and the vehicle acts like it is trying to start but, just will not take off. As far as I can tell it seems to be firing. However, it just acts like it is getting choked out. I am unable to determine what the problem is, I would appreciate your expert advise.

First you will need a high pressure fuel gauge to test for proper fuel press. Sounds like the fuel pump is weak and not delivering the required pressure to run the injection system
