Car will not start, but if I squirt it with ether it will sputter. Good fuel pressure at fuel rail. What else could it be? What sensor could it be?

It sounds like the timing chain could have jumped lets do a compression test to confirm the issue. Here are two guides that should help:

and

Please run down these guides and report back.
