I think every person on this list, beside Jim, Russ, etc, has asked this
same question.  Here are some things I have been told to check, when I had
the problem:

1.  Fuel tank and fuel lines.  Rust and debris in the tank and lines will
clogged the injectors and cause this problem.
2.  Injectors, make sure they are not leaking or clogged
3.  Injector connections make sure contacts are good, very important that
they make constant good contact.
4.  Trigger contacts in the distributor, clean them with a clean piece of
paper, don't file them.
5.  Two clicks on ignition, listen for the FI relays one in back one up
front.  And listen for the pump.
6.  Fuel pressure at 28 -30 psi.

I'm sure many people will add to this. Hope it helps.
