The car has run fine no miss nothing, shut the car off the other day and it hasn't started since. Checked for spark, ok, checked fuel pressure, ok, timing ok, the only trouble code I got was for a air charge temp sensor which I replaced. Car turns over fine. Anyone have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've replaced the distributor cap and rotor. I get a good blue spark but I have a good coil I can try. I've also checked the compression and all cylinders are around 110 to 125. This problem really has me baffled. Thanks for the help

back to basics, Spark, compression, fuel. all it needs. which one is it? KB
What about the crank sensor?
No crank sensor but I've found out why it won't start. I checked the fuel pressure and its right where it should be so I assumed I was getting fuel into the cylinders but I pulled one of the injectors to see if it was shooting any fuel and it wasn't so I pulled another same thing. Is there a fuse or fusible link in the injector circuit or would this be a computer problem? Is there something other than the computer that controls the injectors? I'm scrounging the junk yards to find a computer.
It's most likley not the computer. Most likley where the injector harness connects into the main harness has come loose.
