Disconnect the battery for several minutes.

Your PCM reset will do nothing for you. Plugs, wires, and coils are the primary suspects.

Do you have the one-piece magnavox coil with 6 posts, or 6 individual coils?

A place to start:

You can usually get parts pretty cheap at the junk yards. Cost me $20 for the whole set-up. Then get some new plugs and wires.
