If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard i

further info --
Car does have both spark and fuel, but 2 different compression tests showed zero compression. When cranking the car, engine seems to spin very easily (just like other cars that I have owned in the past that had a broken timing belt) -although the timing chain seems fine and the camshaft is turning when the engine is cranked.
