Pull the CEL codes. Click on CEL sticky at the top.

Did you check whether the timing belt snapped?

Does the distributor get battery voltage at the coil and ICM?

Checked timing belt that's fine cam is rotating at normal speed changed fuse panel and trased all the wires back all look good. Im trying to do all this crap in my backyard with limited tools and resources. Not sure if the distributor is getting power. Changed the ignitor to see if that was it but still nothing

You only need a short piece of wire to pull the codes and an inexpensive test light or multimeter to check voltages.
