This might be kind of long....
1995 eagle talon non turbo, completely stock. while driving at ~65mph on the freeway just completely cut off. got home found no spark, no fuel. replaced crank sensor, and cam postion sensor, still no spark and no fuel. pulled the ECM and looked as if it had a scorch mark internally, so replaced ECM with known and tested good one, still no spark and no fuel. Took to a mechanic and he said problem is in the harness and he didn't want to touch it. so i replaced the wiring harness from a parts car (no fun let me tell you) and i now have spark and fuel (~38psi according to fuel pressure checker). car just cranks won't start. I sprayed it with starting fluid car starts and runs until ether is gone. i replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, and installed new injectors, still no start. tested electrically that injectors are pulsing and they seem to be working perfectly. pulled off timing cover and marks align perfect, car is in time. at top dead center crank arrows line up and cam gear marks are facing each other. so then i thought maybe weak spark, replaced ignition coil, plugs, and plug wires. still no start. i then added a new good ground from engine block to firewall just incase bad ground causing weak spark. no change. what am i missing? compression reads 148 to 152 across all four cylinders. so i have spark, i have fuel, and i have compression. why won't this thing fire? what am i missing?
