How does it act when you crank it? while it barely fire or start right up?

have you checked the firing order, then checked all plugs and wires ?
while the plugs are out, replace them with stock coppers gapped at about .046"
after that check fuel

they are in the exhaust, just like every EFI car.
you MIGHT be able to get them out with a 7/8" box wrench. take them completely out of the pipes and take the car for a ride.
