What's the compression?
Have you verified good spark at the plug end of the wire?
Are the plugs staying snow white or getting dark?
Is it consuming any coolant?

Compression is very good, just put new irridium plugs in it for 6.99 each the old plugs looked kind of white like it may be runnin lean. Good spark at plug side of wire, checked injectors, fuel rail and pressure, & no coolent leaks.

What are the compression readings?

Use a noid light to check for injector pulse.

Perform an injector balance test.

Post back with the results after you do the testing.
