Sounds like a fuel delivery problem... might wanna check the fuel pressure at the schrader valve, or just go ahead and replace the fuel filter...

It could be a shot fuel pump...

A simple quick check... make sure the plugs are hooked up right, and you've observed the proper firing order... when looking toward the rear of the car from the front... it is...

5-6
3-4
1-2

the #1 cylinder is the front passengers side... the #1 terminal on the cap is the front left one, going -clockwise- from there...

It -really- sounds like what happened to me after my FP died though... not a cheap/easy job! Good luck!
