Answer
If it were me i would check the fuses for 22 and 23, which are the fuel rails, make sure none of them are blown, if its not blown, check the throttle body for carbon build up. Then try to at least change the spark plugs, and let the cylinders dry out for 15-20 minutes. If your willing,  replace the distributor cap and rotor, and ignition cables.
