They look like you're fouling them out. What's the VAFC set for?

i had the same problem and it turned out to be the ICM, ignition control module inside the distributor. It cost $40 to fix (used) but it works fine now. Buy the book for your engine and it will show you a few easy tests to make sure its working right.

Before you start teh car, put your foot to the floor (WOT)

This will cut out the injectors, then turn the key. The car will turn over with no fuel, and the spark plugs will get nice and hot. It will not start until you remove your foot from the gas pedal.

Release gas pedal quickly.

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
