1997 Accord won't start
!997 Accord LX, 4 cyl. non-vtech, automatic 150,000 miles has decided not to start. It turns over fine and has spark. It makes no attempt to fire. The timing belt was replaced several thousand miles ago and the camshaft turns. I do not have a fuel pressure adapter to check the fuel pressure. I loosened the banjo fitting at the fuel rail just a little. I got a healthy spray when the key was turned on.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Last night I checked the main relay functions and all seem ok. Still have fuel pressure and spark will jump about 1 inch from coil wire or plug wires. I have pulse at the injectors.

Thanks. Car is completly stock. The end cylinders have 30 psi & 80 psi compression. The center cylinders have good compression but have fresh oil in them. The car did not use oil and there is no sign of oil burning on any of the spark plugs. We have no idea what has caused this.
