I guess I should start from the beginning. About a year ago I had the timing belt changed. Then (related or not) less than a 1000 miles later the car started missing. WHY? I HAVE NO IDEA?

-Dsmlink showed nothing wrong (and no cel)
-Pressure at rail is good
-I put in new spark plugs (gapped proberly)
-Known working Coil
-Transistor
-Spark plug wires
-Swapped out the translator/Gm mas for a 2g
-Changed CAS
-Took out Injectors and tried swapping in an Oem ecu
-Swapped Engine Harness'.
-All relays in center console including MPI

I checked the timing and I saw that it has a broken bolt threaded into the hole for the tensioner...which means that maybe there wasn't enough tension and the timing skipped! ....NOPE! Redid the timing and used the Miller tool to correctly tension the belt. Nothing.

I pulled the plugs out and had someone start the engine...Its like a laser show! They all work.

The plugs are covered in gasoline! and at the rail, the fuel pressure is correct.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT COULD I POSSIBLE CHANGE OUT! Really though.
 
It is better to actually swap the main wires on the ignition coil. The should be red or blue(not sure). But, I had the same situation and swapping the two top wires on the ignition coil helped. Also make sure that the CAS is centered. You don't want it to be full retard or advanced. That should help.
 
I just swapped the wires on mine, didn't feel like screwing with the coil wiring. 1 with 3 and 2 with 4 (for reference). But anyway, yeah, i'm curious to see if that was the problem.
