... Just check the color on the tip and if its properly gapped. Other then that I don't know how.... maybe misfiring and what not.

Things to ask yourself:
Does the fuel pump always prime? (You should hear a slight buzz from the rear right after the key is turned to the run position but the car is not cranked.)
Are all of your injectors firing? Are the plugs gas soaked?
