Check the fuel pump pressure to make sure it is within spec. If you go to our homepage under the DIY section, you will find directions. Next, check the plugs. Are they wet with gas? Are they getting a good hot blue snapping spark?

You need to check the wiring for continunity. There could be a break or too much resistance in the wiring itself causing a bad reading to the computer.
Have you checked the timing belt?

Check the pressure regulator. If the diaphragm is punctured or ripped, the engine can flood.
