My car won't start. It gets spark and gets fuel but still won't start. Have replaced the battery, spark plugs, and wires.

So you know it has enough fuel pressure to start if so what is the pressure?Also the injectors are plusing and spraying fuel into the intake manifold?There is spark on every cylinder?Also the timing belt didnt jump?

Mine has 53k. Wouldn't start up the other night. Came back the next day with a new coil and some tools, fired right up. If you figure it out, please post back, maybe it's the same thing. Also - my check engine light comes on sometimes and it idles a little rough.
