For it to fire you need air, fuel, compression, and spark. Also is this at idle, normal running, dawging it, or all of the above.

I would say a compression test would be a good start

/\ /\ Thinking the same thing, but didn't want to jump to conclusions about a headgasket or rings. The timing chains arent infallable either. If the tensioner aint tensioning or jumped a tooth........

don't jump to conclusion. Change the boots and the plugs first.

I had same problem however your first choice of action was my last due to cost of parts. I compression tested mine, did a fuel pressure test, changed plugs and boots and priced up some computers. mine was either icm or coilpack... i changed them both together and it worked fine.

i talked to my fiance he says to check the computer plug in the right front wheel well. I guess they are known to corrode there.
