did you notice a backfire or other exhaust noise lately?

a plugged CAT can cause a no run situation when you have fuel and spark...whack the cat, does it sound like anything broken inside?

Put you hand on the taipipe.  Have someone crank it over.  Any sign of compression getting to the tailpipe?

lately I've been seeing a lot of flakey 2.1 distributors... but when the hall sensor is bad you get no spark so your dizzy is probably ok.

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.
