Good morning,
I would start by checking the compression in the motor to be sure there is no issue internally. You need 140-160 pounds in each cylinder.

Then I would check the fuel pressure to be sure there is sufficient fuel in the injectors.

Check for the spark to all the cylinders as well.

Let me know the results and when we have it narrowed down, we can pinpoint the failure.
