because you can check for it...just pull the tube that connects to the intake and the fuel rail.then turn the key to on position gas should flow out......

have you check for spark on your cables & how's your fuel filter. you're probably getting fuel but is it enough

check the fuel pump 4 spliced wires. most fuel kill switches splice directly from the fuel pump. but i had the same problem. it turned out to be the fuel filter. the filter had alot of carbon bulid up. just start tearing down the fuel system. also check 4 leeks. process of elimation is the best way to fix any problem

obviously its not a kill switch problem cause you said that you checked for fuel at the rail right? i had this same thing happen to me a couple days ago on a da. it was getting fuel at the rail and i checked for spark at all cylinders and it looked good so i was stumped as well. long story short i pulled off the dizzy cap and found that the little screw that holds the rotor on had broken off and was just spinning freely. replaced the dizzy and problem solved, good luck.(note: even though the car had spark it wasnt sparking at the right time and that could be whats happening in your case)
