That said, it does indeed sound like a fuel issue.
Alternately, if you can get your hands on some noid lights, you could check to see if you have injector pulse at the cylinders that don't seem to be firing.
One more thought:
If it is a fuel issue like you suspect, do what jakemkz said, or you can follow the fsm in the electrical section, page 296 (or at least on the pdf version it is) called trouble diagnosis for non-dectable items.

thanks for the reply bro! that carb cleaner idea sounds really smart but I kept trying different things and gave up and dropped it off at my local shop. ill let you guys know what the final verdict is. thanks again for the help!!
