Ok lets try this take two spark plug wires off ur coils that are side by side have someone crank it over while u watch for spark jumping from post to post. Let me know if u have any. The next thing I would check is how much fuel pressure u have.U could even have a bad coolant temp sensor which is only like 10 but without a scan tool that reads engine data we would just have to try one to see if it works. Would u be intrested in trying a coolant temp sensor?Try the spark first though. If not u can rent a fuel pressure gauge and let me know what ur pressure is. Otherwise ill post where that sensor is and give u instructions on that.
