Default 1995 Del Sol Si D16zc 1.6, Cranking but not Starting

Hey All, I have been troubleshooting for some time and haven't found a solution, looking for any help someone can give. Here's what has been happening, please bear in mind it might be a long story.
Three weeks ago, I went to start my car to go to work (7 a.m.) and experienced cranking but no start, after a couple of tries it started and ran fine for the rest of the day, later that day while driving to a gig on the highway, my car began loosing power for a second or two. I was traveling and had been for sometime at 70mph, when the power dropped for a split second, it felt like engine braking though my foot never came off the accelerator, this happened only twice. The car acted fine until the next morning, all I was able to accomplish was cranking no start just cranking. After working on it for two days (luckily I was at a friends), this is what I found,
1.Car would only crank with no start.
2.Car would start on Starting spray and remain running until fumes were gone.
3.Fuel Pump would only prime on occasion i.e.( in the heat of the day)
4.Car started only twice without spray on second day of troubleshooting, but would not restart if engine was shut off and a restart was atempted.

On the Third day, I purchased and installed new
-Main Relay
-Fuel Pump/Strainer/Filter

After the new parts the car started after several atempts and at that point I left it running and made for home, The car did fine on the 100mile trip back, and I believed the problem fixed. After I arrived home I shut the car off and tried to restart it.......and I am back to square one, cranking but not starting.

Here is what I have replaced since then:
-Main Relay
-Fuel Pump/Strainer/Filter
-IAC
-IEC
-Dist. Rotor
-Dist. Cap

I had it towed to the only shop in town that can still read an OBD1 and it was returned to me with the codes they said it was telling them and dumbfounded looks.
Here are the codes according the repair shop:
-No Communication w/ECU
-P0024
-P0072
-P0134
-P0271

Thanks for bearing with me, any productive help with this is greatly appreciated.
