Speedometer has never worked.

A few months ago the car randomly shut off while driving and the
oil pressure light came on, car started right back up - No Codes
Oil pressure light goes back off.

Now about once or twice a week the car started doing that, but would
always start right back up.

Just this week my CEL would come on and off but didnt affect the car.

Now a few nights ago the car shut off as I was pulling onto my road
and now it won't start back up, I've spent about $300 on replacing parts
to no avail, please help I need to get back to work ASAP!!!!

Brand New Parts I've replaced in the past 2 days.
Coil pack
ASD & Fuel pump Relay
Crankshaft sensor
Cam Angle Sensor
(Just ordered a VSS, will be here tomorrow, doubt it will fix
the problem but it's worth a try I guess)

I checked for spark, and am getting spark in 2-3, first time I checked
for spark I seen a spark in cyl 4 but now I see nothing. So in 2-3 I'm getting
constant spark but in 1-4 it's dead?!

Any help is appreciated guys, I'm so done with this thing and it's like 5 degrees here.
 
At this point if you're still running the new ECU i'd really start looking for cut, melted, frayed, or ungrounded wires. Maybe the oil leak that wreaked havoc on your old ecu shorted out something else along the way. And while you're at it, maybe try to track down the source of said oil leak to prevent that from happening again.
