make your thread titles more descriptive in the future.

first order of business here is to do a compression test.

kinda sounds like mine,....

check for spark...very important...take a plug and ground them to see if you have sparks from every cylinder....if you do...move on to fuel...if ur plugs are fouled out and wet...then u got fuel and fuel injectors are okay...

do compression test like <U>mgags7</U> said...if you have all good compression...then last thing is timing.....u know the ordeal w/ timing...must be dead-on...1 tooth off and will do that....

so check those 1st....

How do you test your compression, i'm thinking it has to do with the vacume hoses, but what else and where do you connect? And how do you figure out the xx:x:xx ratio?
