I saw that you complained of a different issue recently. It seems you think your catalytic convertor may be plugged. Did you ever do anything with that?

are you getting injector pulse? put a noid light on the injector to see if your getting pulse. next check ignition pules to the spark plugs? do you know if your optispark is good.

I assume you have already checked all the basics - electrical connections, grounds, etc.

There's 3 things an engine needs to run: air, fuel, and spark. You may be getting all 3, but you are obviously not getting enough of one of them to keep it running.

Air is almost never the problem, so you need to look at fuel and spark. If you have a stock coil, it's easy enough to spend 10 minutes to swap it out.
