Ok, this suggestion might be silly, but:
Is the timing at least close? You might simply have your timing off, and perhaps adjusting the distributor position is all you need to do.
Do you have the spark plug wires in the correct order?
Are all of the electronic connections firmly and correctly attached? Double check the injector connections and whatnot. A loose electrical connection can cause many headaches. A bad injector will also produce the symptoms you describe: I once did a head gasket job, and apparently got some crap on an injector in the process. I ultimately had the car towed to my buddies shop to learn that I did the head job perfectly, and simply needed a new injector.
