94 EX 1.6 - fuel pump running - getting good pressure at the banjo bolt. Getting spark at all cylinders - new Cap, Rotor, Igniter, Coil, Wires and plugs - New timing belt - rotor and cam "are turning" when cranking...

The car was given to me (it had sat for little over a year) found the bad igniter and got it started - changed all the other stuff because it was old and figured it couldn't hurt...the car was starting and running perfectly driving it around town on short trips, then i drove it around to the other side of island (about 25miles) was going up hill and it started sputtering - put it in neutral and rev'ed it a bit and it seemed fine - couple more seconds sputtered again and died and hasn't started since...

Ive gone back over the standard Fuel-Spark checks - The thing with this car is that even when I'm spraying starting fluid into throttle body it will not fire up - but its still getting spark and timing belt is turning...

Any suggestions...What am i missing!!

Good pressure at the banjo bolt only tells you that the fuel pump is working, not if the fuel filter is any good.
Check for fuel pressure at the injectors/rail, you may be looking at a bad fuel filter or pressure regulator. That's the least troublesome of problems.
And just to be safe, also check your oil for coolant, and coolant for oil/fuel, and do a compression check. Past that, check for any CELs, and diagnose as needed.

color of said spark? verify mechanical timing as well.

Have fuel
Have spark?

Need compression,
Need timing.

Make sure injectors are pulsing. You can hear them click if you put the pointy end of a screwdriver to the injector body and the other end up to you ear (close to your temple).
