When you say "Its firing" I assume you mean you checked to see if there is actually spark,and there is. Do you smell gas at all after you crank it?If you do ,it has fuel.If you dont there are several ways to check if its a fuel delivery problem. Easiest is probably to take off a hose in the air intake system and spray all itle sarting fluid in there,than crank.You could use a few drops of gas,or carb cleaner spray. also. If it fires and dies,you have a fuel delivery (fuel pump,or relay,etc) Is it cranking extra fast?and/or uneven?These are timing belt problems
