    Well lets seperate what you got going on. Does it crank, but will not run?
    After that answer we can continue

      Do you get any lights or buzzer with the key on and the door open?

        Yup light on dash,buzzers, all work.

        He is getting about 35# fuel pressure,Just changed CPS, ignition lock and switch, power at the coil (Yellow wire @12v) no spark from the coil to dist. Oh yeah, he cleaned (power wash) the engine the day before it quit starting.

              Dennis when you crank it and there is power to the coil on the positive side does the wire on the negative side of the coil make a test light flicker? Also does it active the injectors? Same kinda test with a test light or a noid light across the injector plug does it flicker while cranking? Or simpler test yet does the fuelpump start running if you crank it for a bit longer time?

                Art, there is power on the Pos.side but nothing on the Neg. at crank. fuel pump does run at crank for a sec. I'm thinking coil just never had 1 die like that.
