generally the ignition system works or it doesnt! sounds like a lack of fuel to me !
have you changed the fuel filter ? possibly a carburetor problem ? partially plugged main jet ?

Change the fuel filter. Sounds like its starving for gas. If thats not it then purchase a tbi rebuild kit. if thats not it then check fuel pressure. if its bad replace the pump ONLY with a ac delco or delphi. stay away from airtexs.

All said and done. you have a brand new fuel system.
