Do you hear the fuel pump prime everytime you turn the key to the on position?

DIZZY = DISTRIBUTOR, CHECK FUEL LINES FOR FUEL PRESSURE

well you you turn the key to the on position you should hear the full pump make a humming noise for a few seconds. If its not doing that you could have a bad main relay

Check your ECU for any codes. I had this problem before and it turned out to be Injectors.

Pull down the carpet from the firewall in your passenger side footwell, and it will be there. There will be a metal cover with the small hole in the center of it. Put your key in the ignition and just put it to the start position, without starting it, and then check that hole for flashes. Write down what you see and check back on here and we'll try to help you out!
