Drove car to church. Cme out 2 hours later and wouldn't start. It turns over like it wants to but won't start. Compression good. Has spark. Coil pack checked ok. Ignition fuel module checked fine. Spayed starting fluid into intake still didnt start. We are at a loss. Can't have autozone code shoot it because I had it towed home and it wont run to get it there. Anyone else have this problem and have solution? Anyone have any idea what this could be? We don't know what else to do. I'm at a loss.

If you have good fuel pressure and spark, then check injectors with noid light, see if they are pulsing, if not, then fuse or injector drivers in PCM.

See if local autoparts store will loan a scanner to you, you pay for cost of scanner and get your money back when you return it. It will be the best diagnostic tool to isolate the problem. Maybe a friend can loan you one.

You can also buy code readers for under $50, not my first choice, but it will give some info as to cause.
