New plugs, wires, coil. Getting fire to plugs hold it to the floor still floods. Fuel pressure ok, timing ok. It sputters once in a while that’s it. ---

Listen to or feel each of the injectors. Are they all clicking the same? Maybe one is stuck. I had one stick on my 1999 Civic. Gave it a whack with a screwdriver handle and it’s been fine. ---

Is timing on spec? Slipped timing belt? Valves adjusted? ---

Locate the fuel pressure regulator and remove the vacuum hose. [https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=443885&cc=1167410&jsn=366](https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=443885&cc=1167410&jsn=366) If gas leaks out of this connection, the diaphragm in the regulator is leaking and requires replacement.

Given what you’ve already done, here’s some ideas - injectors are being double pulsed for some reason; e.g. the computer thinks the coolant and/or ambient temperature is really cold. o-scope the injector signals, look for double pulsing. - injectors are faulty (bench test or replace them) - the pulse signals going to the injectors are too long in pulse duration. o’scope probe the injector signals and compare to spec, or to another vehicle with the same engine which doesn’t do this. Could be caused by a faulty mass air flow meter. - fuel system is ok, but the spark plugs aren’t firing consistently. crank position sensor, ignition module. - other mechanical problems like low compression, clogged exhaust system ---

Good goin’ — you’re on the way. Maybe it just needs a good cleanup and drying out and a new o-ring on the shaft. Good luck. ---
