When you say you changed "2 temp sensor" what sensors are talking about?
Did it one or two wires on it?
Did you change two different sensors, one with two wires and one with one wire?
It sure sounds like the ECT (two wires) or ACT sensor to me.

check fuel pressure at the rail, also remove the vac line going to the fpr. if gas is present the fpr is bad. what is your timing set at? and how do the plugs look. and you must get at least 1 code showing a system pass.
