Changed spark plugs, wires, coils, checked fuses, relays, fuel pump works (can hear it power when key turned), read wires to coils, cam switch, capacitor, crankshaft position sensor. Any other ideas other than the computer?

Are there any codes? This guide can help:

Also, unplug the injectors and Oxygen sensors to see if the spark comes back, if one of these is shorted it will stop the PCM from triggering the coils. Also check the Meter and engine fuse. Here are the engine wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and check for good power and ground. If everything checks out, you may have a bad PCM.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

After checking all the above, I noticed the timing belt/chain was not turning. I replaced it and now works fine!
