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?

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.
