Inspect and clean all engine and chassis grounds. make sure all connections are tight.

Any CEL's?

A combustion engine needs fuel, spark and air so which one is deficient? Fuel getting to fuel rail and injectors?

Is timing correct?..maybe jumped tooth/teeth.

Stop throwing parts at it..test first. You've probably spent hundreds of dollars already and the issue still remains.

Are you saying you checked ignition timing (distributor) with a timing gun? If so, that is not mechanical timing (crank/cam alignment).

Re: Problem with power

I jump start it
Because the battery is dead?
and it starts after a while it shuts off
Because the alternator is not working?
