is it rolling over? have you narrowed it down to a spark problem?

i see that you said you have no spark, try and listen to see if you hear your fuel pump prime. If you dont hear your fuel pump priming, that means that you have no sark and no fuel. MAIN RELAY!!!

I run a 100 shoot on my 95 gsr & had the same problem after a few passes with the juice. I changed everything you already have. The only things I did you did not is change out the spark plugs I used ngk iridium, and this might sound weird but, unplug your battery entirely for over an hour, I let mine sit unplugged overnight, this will reset the ecu. This could save some green on a new ecu. After all this mine fired up.

Deffinitly change the spark plugs, from cranking it so much it can burn them out.

2nd. Check your grounds, it could be an electrical problem, such as a short in the harness, etc.

If I were you I'd try different dizzy, one from a car that you know works for sure, so you know if the dizzy is the problem or not if it works... good luck.

i had the same problem with my car a few weeks ago and after doing a complete overhaul it still wouldn't start so i just started from the beginning again and i found out that i damaged my distributor when putting it back in.. the part where it connects to the camshafts it should have like two prongs sticking out and i broke one of mine so there was no timing at all..

Main fuel relay FTW!!! this was just happening to me, especially as the day got hot, the car would crank but no start, couldn't hear the fuel pump. changed it out and good to go. should be about 50 bucks from dealer or find a used one. in all about a 3 min fix. Dont go out and buy all this expensive other stuff, try the simple things first.

did you read? he said that he knows its not the fuel pump, so therefore he probably hears it priming....which is usually the cause of a faulty main relay. im still going with a bad ECU

as everybody else this happens to me this past weekend and the weekend before so the first time bought a new igniter and ignition coil when i put those on my car started after a week it did the same thing so i just bought me a new distributor and it started like a champ..i would prefer to borrow a friends distributor or ecu before you spent alot of money on something you not sure how to fix..but most like it could be the distributor cause you said your not getting any spark plus its understandable knowing that its an old school car

apparently noone else knows how to do any diagnostics soooo..... getting a repair manual and a volt/ohm meter will save you a lot of money rather than changing parts with no results... it will tell you if you have the correct voltage and ohms going into the dizzy and the ecu.. this will tell you your problems with ease. im not being a dick... i used to do the same things and wasted a lot of money. if you cant do that...... borrow a freinds parts.
