is the fuel pump doing its job? do you have enough pressure at
the distributor? After that I would be thinking clogged injectors, but to have all of them clogged would seem unusual. The other thing is the fuel pressure regulator. If it is similar to what I am used to, it is mounted on the block on the driver side. Just look for some additional lines running to a small box. If thats bad you will not have the correct pressure either.

Fuel pump is pumping plenty and what seems to be plenty of pressure at the distributor...
...ETKA mentions two pressure regulators...one with an electrical connection on it (2A)

This one maintains 55 psi, and by-passes the rest back to the tank...
Also called the "mechanical" fuel pressure reg, it maintains a working pressure of 55psi inside the fuel pressure head.
