Bad gas/ water in gas, timing, AFM jammed/ disconnected, bad ECU, low battery?

No back fire and my cat has been hollowed out by the PO years ago.
I also replaced the cap and rotor and checked for spark and that looked good
I can normally figure this stuff out, But this has me stumped
Not even trying to fire.
I will try again tomorrow and double check it all again

I put in some new gas And It would not start, Checked my fuel pressure at the T and it was 35 psi I pinched the return line and watched it go over 80 before I released it, I checked spark and had it , Checked compression all over 110 psi, I checked voltage at the injectors with a dc voltage detector and saw it pulsing but still the van would not fire, not even try to fire.
