Would that be the plugs and coil and what's the easiest way to check fuel pressure?

On that one you would have to unbolt the ignition cassette your best bet would be if you have a old spark plug wire to hook to the coil and a old plug to ground.As far as the fuel pressure goes you would use a fuel pressure gauge like any other car.They rent the gauge's at auto zone.

The reason i didn't mentioned that is because you said there is no sound of a broke chain.But good luck to you.
