Why are you wasting money on parts which aren't fixing the problem? If you don't have enough knowledge of mechanics to troubleshoot down to the bad component, You'd be money ahead to take it to a good mechanic and pay him to show you what's wrong and how he determined it. I've been doing my own maintenance for 50 years, but I started out by getting help from mechanics who could show me what to look for and reading manuals on the subject. Fixing a problem by replacing every part which could cause it is a terrible waste of time and money.

Basic checks are spark and fuel. Check your fuel pump by turning on the ignition key and listening - you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds while it pressurizes. Next check spark by pulling out one of the plugs then re-connect to spark plug wire and turn the engine over - you should see a spark. Once you know if the problem is spark or fuel related then you can work back to the problem.

Check your ignition coil and distributor cap. check your fuses for the EFI , fuel pump, and injectors. Use a test light if you have one or visually check the fuses to see if one is bad
