Bad gas, injectors, fuel pump, if ur gettin the right amount of spark which it sounds like u should be cause of everything u replaced, then the next to check is fuel system.

What im saying is you can get bad gas..... it has water in it or maybe ur gas tank has some sludgy **** at the bottom, yeah ur fuel filter could clog also..

Definitely time to check the fuel system. I'd burn through your current tank and run some fuel system cleaner through your next tank (you may also want to use a higher octane gas with the cleaner). Replace fuel filter. Maybe run some seafoam through the IM as well just to clean that out. Anyway, I'm not saying this will work, but it'd be my next step and won't cost much.

holy crap... yeah thatll do it! good to hear everything is fixed though.
just for future reference... instead of buyin ga new coil, ICM, and all of that ****, the haynes manual (at least for preludes) has a fairly large section on testing different voltages, ohms, and continuity, which tells you quite clearly if you have a problem, and what the problem is. its good you got new parts, but that couldda saved you quite a bit of money.
