Any fuses to check? Double check all connections. Look for broken or pinched wires.

Does it run on a shot/spray of ether?

Does it crank normal? Small possibility that the t-chain jumped or broke .. you check for ground and 5v reference at the dist? Niod light the injector to see if those are getting signal?

I had this issue before on my 93. Turned out there is a set of large fuses near the battery on the front drivers side (below the battery). They had corroded enough that current wouldn't pass. I pulled them out one by one (a total of maybe six) and cleaned them off. The car then started right up.

Hope this helps.

Insert getting laid wherever possible.
