Start by checking fuel pressure with a test gauge and checking for spark at the coil and after the plug wires. See what you have missing.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

PUT STOP LEAK IN RADIATOR

That was a mistake, although nothing to do with your current problem.
