Hey guys appreciate any help u can give, spark, gas, timing, right? I have gas at injector column, so I scratched that, I had assumed it was spark because the 1st thing I did was take valve cover off and watch timing belt go round and round to eliminate that, but, I have replaced ignitor/internal distributor module, I get correct resistance on coil and pick up, replaced cap and button, turns over smooth as silk, but will not fire won`t even try and fire no close ones if ya know what I mean, what the heck qam I missing, I suspect its common to high milage corollas u have another died on highway 95 corolla in here already thnx in advance

Do below and give me some results

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Got plenty of spark, but I can`t exactly qualify it as blue, i`m all for it being a fuel problem but it seems counter intuitive since I have lots and lots of fuel at the flow regulator bothsides, is it possible all 4 injectors clogged at same time

Check the fuel pressure with a gauge and also check for injection pulses
