1992 2.3L cranks but won’t start. Was driving fine the all of a sudden it just died. Tried to start it back with no luck. Replaced fuel pump, verified fuel pressure at 40 on fuel rail while cranking. Getting spark from one coil pack. Other I am not, replaced that coil pack and still no spark. Has a new ignition control module one it (6 months old) any ideas? Thanks

I would bet money on your timing belt breaking or skipping a tooth... don't worry, it's non interference so just replace.

To verify pull the rubber plug on the front of the timing cover and see if there's a firm or floppy belt behind it... if it's firm rotate it to TDC, there's a timing mark that lines up with that hole on the cam pulley if it's lined up.
