Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor are good. Haven't check for spark that way. I'll have to wait for when it shuts down again.

I will be checking fuel pressure soon. I found a tester that they don't have in the parts store. It's the Actron CP7817. It is specially for the TBI engines. It comes with an adapter that screws in between the fuel line and fuel filter with a schader valve on it. It allows checking the pressure with the fuel filter on and no disconnection of the lines at the throttle body. I'll let everyone know how it works once I get it. Ordered it off of Amazon. Same price as the one they sell in part stores.
