Yes, all four plug wires and the coil all have spark.

I checked the distributor and it's ok. The following things have been checked
and
are working.

Starter
Intake stream
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pump
Injectors
Spark plugs
Plug wires and Coil wire
Distributor

I don't want to admit it, but I think the timing chain did take a dump.
If the timing chain is loose or skipped a toother and it's lined up right,
the compression would be low and the motor would not start correct? If i'm
wrong then once again I have no clue what it could be.

I sure hope not, but if it's not the timing chain I will begin to suspect that
those are the only remaining problems left that could explain my case.
