I had a an issue a few years ago where it was showing fuel and spark, spent time and effort and money, swapping all sorts of things to no avail.

 

Ended up taking it to the local garage, who charged a piddly £10 and he told me in 5 mins what was wrong. Mine turned out to be the fuel pump. Its was working but not enough pressure to run it.

 

The moral to the story is dont rack you brain for days scratching your head, take it to a garage for diagnosis. Obviously dont tell him you're using him for just diagnosis. When he tells you what it is just tell him you cant afford to sort it right now, and how much do I owe you. lol

 

Once you know what it its it'll be easy to sort. lol.

Does sound like fuel pressure. I had the same problem and turned out the little pipe on top fuel pump split so i was getting fuel just with no pressure. Is your mfi or efi?
