I was driving at 60 mph and all of a sudden it just shut off. No warning, no sounds, no smells, just shut off as if I turned the key off.
I've replaced the ingnition coil, the ignition module, & the map sensor. I have spark at all plugs, and the fuel pressure is within specs at the test port. The motor cranks but won't fire. No codes are showing on the OBD II.

Crank engine over for 10secs then remove a sparkplug do you smell fuel and see wet sparkplug. If not check the spider unit under the upper plenum.

Got this funny feeling you don't have injection pulses.

Tried that and do have fuel smell but spark plug was only a little damp. Thought it could be a timing chain problem but I pulled the distributor cap and it rotates which led me to give up on the timing chain possibliity.

I tested my spark plug wires even though I had spark at the plugs and it turns out the wires were bad. The resistance in the wires was way out of tolerence, still giving spark but not a strong enough one. As soon as I replaced them it fired right up. Thanks for all your advice. I look forward to passing on any assistance I can.
