The first thing to do is a fuel pressure test. The CPI motors (not mpfi) are known for FPR (fuel pressure regulator) failures. Test the fuel pressure at the fuel pressure test port (rear driver side of the plenum near the brake booster). For a properly functioning fuel system, the pressure should be 55-60psi. Also, the pressure should not drop more than 2-3 psi after the pump has shut off.
