First chek the battery for condition including load test. It may be weak even though say it's good. Then check your firing order. Check to see if the firing order is correct and dist cap is good and no carbon tracing or cracks. Is the motor same year or prior to 96 if it is all the 96 stuff must be put on it. If it turns over ok without pulugs then it may be the starter is drawing to many amps or you have a cracked cap or firing order screwed up
