Hmm... not too familiar with the 2.9's, however, there will be somebody who will come around soon and get you straitened out.

Welcome to FTE!!!

I would start by...

Pulling the codes
Checking the fuel pressure
Checking the timing
Checking for gas in the vacuum line for the fuel pressure regulator
