Need help badly with non thirdgen, but OBD I

It's my 1986 Grand Am SE, 3.0 V6, Auto tranny, MPFI. It takes some cranking over and over and over again to get it started. When it starts it idles fine, when I push on the gas, it sputters and struggles to make any RPM's. I just checked the injetors and they all spec out at 16.1 being the lowest to 16.6 being the highest on the ohms meter. I thought maybe the exhaust was plugged up, so I gutted the cat Sunday, it still runs rough. What else should I check?
