Default HELP! 91 DX WONT START> FOR WHAT I CAN SEE NO REASON!!

I was just crusing home one night on the highway about 50-55mph and the car started spudering out.. like it was running out of gas then it just died. Got it towed home next morning. And i try to diagnose the prob. timing belt fine, fuel/spark yes.. plugs fine, compression 175/180/175/150, cel codes none! I dont know what next? I see no reason for this to not start i made sure it had gas and it just turns over no spuders no pops or fires nothing. and there was no reason for belt to skip teeth if it did it would still run right?

Anyways im just trying to get my car on the road until i get my tranny for the ls any help will be great. TIA

Did you check the actual fuel pressure?
It could be the FPR.

Yeah I have seen that alot as well, check main relay, dizzy (rotor and coil ,mainly) and all grounds and fuses and you should trace it down.

Fuel, Spark, Comp. Main relay, Fuel Pump, Dizzy, Grounds. (Body up front, Thermo, Valve Cover, Tranny) [I think there might be one more.] double check all things that may look funny/suspicious. Something you didn't notice before....
Does it even crank.

I'm going to throw in a vote for the rotor coming off.

Check Main Relay - Can you hear the fuel pump prime up when you turn the key on?

Check Ignition Switch - Does the car chime when you turn the key on? Dash lights come on?

You can see if it is the ignition coil by checking the electrical resistance between certain points... If there is a connection where there should not be, you have a coil short. Unfortunately I don't know any more than what I just mentioned. Check these pics of someone testing this out for me and determining my coil went:

Put the car at TDC and see where the rotor button it pointing.
Are you getting consistant spark over all cylinders? Is your catalytic converter clogged?
