    Welcome! what model Perkins are you working on? Does it have a computer controlled fuel system?

    Fuel and power to the plugs will get it running. Rather than replacing parts hurdy-gurdy, I'd suggest checking the fuel delivery at the rail. If you have good delivery to the injectors, then it has to be a power/plug matter.
