Have changed; fuel pump, filter, injector, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, coil and IAC sensor, and cam sensor. And the sensor in distributor. I have compression in cylinders yet still won't start. Can you help me?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Lets start with the basics. Do you have proper fuel pressure and are the spark plugs getting spark? Here are a few links that you may find helpful. I will say, the easiest way to determine if it is a fuel or ignition issue is to see if it starts for a second or two using starting fluid. If it does, then it's fuel related. If it doesn't, then it's most likely ignition.

Also, make sure the crankshaft position sensor is connected. I attached a picture of the location of the sensor and where it connects behind the AC compressor.

Also, here are the specs for fuel pressure:

Fuel Pressure Specifications
FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

WITH PCM
1. Ignition "OFF" for 10 Seconds.
2. With ignition "ON," engine "OFF" and fuel pump running, pressure should be 400-440 kPa (58-64 psi).
For additional fuel pressure testing procedures, See: A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ) > Related Tests, Information and Procedures > With PCM

WITH VCM-A
1. Ignition "OFF" for 10 Seconds.
2. With ignition "ON," engine "OFF" and fuel pump running, pressure should be 380-420 kPa (55-61 psi).
For additional fuel pressure testing procedures, See: A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ) > Related Tests, Information and Procedures > With VCM-A

Let me know what you find. Keep in mind, since you have done a lot of work, it is possible the crank sensor wasn't reconnected. Also, let me know if it, too, was replaced.

Take care,
Joe
