Default zc problems please help

I was cruising down the road at 55 when by car bogged and died all of the sudden
It turns smooth but will not start. We first thought it was out of time but checked and it is perfect. We've checked the fuel pump and it works. It is getting spark and gas at all four. It sounds just like it is out of time. Someone mentioned a cam position sensor. Would this cause my trouble? If anyone has any ideas please help me.

Im not getting any codes. I even swapped ecus but it still didn't throw any codes. We pulled the wires of the distributor and they fire.

3 things you need to start your motor..

Spark (which you say is good)
Gas/Air (Which you said was good)
Compression.....??

Also you can try taking out your plugs and see if they spark nicely..

Also this happen to me.. check the screw in the rotor inside your dizzy.. it will still spark if the rotor is free spining.. but not in order..
