Please Help! 2.3L Won't run!

Ok, I have been fighting with this thing for a while! Someone please give me your imput! The car is a 1993 2.3L Mustang. N/a 5spd.

The car was running fine. I parked it for a while (4-5 monthes). The car started and ran for 10 mins, then died. Then I started it again, ran for 10 seconds and died. That was the last time it ran. The car cranks over great but doesn't run!

I have since replaced the battery, DIS, fuel pump and have tried different combinations of coil packs (picked up a bunch at the wrecker). I took off a spark plug and there was no arc to the engine block. I pushed the shraeder valve and there seems to be fuel pressure at the motor.

Is there any fusable links that could have been broken?? How can I test the volage going to the coils (there is 3 wires, which ones do I test?)? Could every single plug be fowled to the point where it wouldn't start? Could all 4 injectors could have gotten plugged up??

Any input would be great!

Is there a way to test the CPS? I kinda figured this was the last link in the chain but at $150 I wanna be sure it's the prob before I pick one up.

Also, is there any info on changing one?
to replace the crank trigger, you have to pull the front pulley, and timing belt. I replaced the one on my old DIS Motor a year or so ago and it wasnt too hard. I paid only about 80 bucks though for mine.. 150 seems real high. i would change the timing belt too while you have it all apart.
