I own a 1994 Toyota Corolla DX with 1.8L motor. It will not start and dont even sound like it wants to start at all.

Was driving it one day and it just sputtered a couple times and died out completely and has never started since. Has been sitting in my garage for about a year now and I finally have the time to work on it and I cant figure out whats wrong with it.

Things I have checked:
1)Sufficient fuel pressure to Injectors
2)Tested all four injectors and they are working correctly
3)There is good spark to all four spark plugs
4)Put #1 cylinder to TDC and made sure all timing marks lined up (they were good)
5)Good compression to all four cylinders
6)Nothing obstructing air flow to intake

Someone told me that it is likely the Crankshaft Position Sensor. But if that were the case, wouldn't there be no spark to the spark plugs? I'm at a loss here and open to any suggestions.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Brian

You have everything for the vehicle to run, all I can think of is the antitheft system, the anti theft ecu is located, on the side of the driverside dash, not sure if there is an access door.
