check all your grounds. disconnect them to see if the surface is still good under them, and reconnect. had same problem, fixed a ground, and sanded down the spots where all the others connected, and fired right up.

Don't take it so hard from these guys. Give your readinggs. Fuel pressure? How much? These guys need at least 15 psi. to run, Is your cam to crank timing correct. Weak spark is easy to check! Slow down and think, You'll figure it out.
