Spark isn't enough it must be on time. if you mean by "fuel" that you have fuel pressure, the injectors must open to release the fuel.
Don't make it a mystery check each of the following, one is missing:
air is a given
quality spark
fuel actually getting into the cylinders
correct timing
minimum 80 psi cylinder pressure

well i dont know what the fuel pressure is. It has fuel pressure but i dont know how much it is, gettin a tool to check. There is a fittin on the fuel rail to check, what is the pressure supposed to be? I've heard between 35 and 45 PSI, is that correct? I have new spark plugs, wires, fuel filter and air filter. Will check injectors today
