I think it sounds like timing. not sure though since you mentioned "coils." I'm sured you checked the spark plug wires for the correct order. Have you checked the fuel pressure? someone here should know what fuel pressure u should be running. Check all the connectors, make sure they have a tight fit. Well that's all I can think of 4 now. Hope someone else give you some more suggestions! Good luck!
