So here's my problem. I was driving down the road the other day and the car died. I towed it home and immediatly checked the three basic thing s the car needs. I have fuel past the filter, I have spark and I have compresion. So I'm pretty much stumped on this one. Any info you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

You got compression/spark/fuel past the filter

My question, is the fuel pressure correct and are the injectors pulsing.

You can have all 3 but if the valve and ignition timing is off she will never start.
