check the fuel pressure. or...quick check for the FPR...pull the little vacuum line off the FPR....if..fuel dribbles out....the FPR is done, replace.

when was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

Is the spout plug installed?

how is the compression? if good ....then look for vacuum leak.
Also make sure that the grounds and connections are good too.

Is it throwing any codes??
