I would look at fuel pressure. Either the pressure regulator may be bad or the pump may be at fault. Get a shop to verify this. All the symptoms fit with your description.

U need to check the fuel pressure and for fuel pressure leak down with the key off. Recheck your wires and ingition timing. Install some starter shims to fix flywheel clearance.
