1991 T/A 305 TPI cranks but no start

Was starting and idling fine and then it stopped wanting to fire up. It just cranks and doesn't try to start. Fuel pressure at 40-45 at rails and I have spark at the plugs. The injectors won't open up and allow fuel into cylinders.

Get a noid tester and test the injectors.

Stock ignition?
Check the ohm's on the coil.
You may have spark off the wires, but it may not be strong enough to jump it once you have it with compression in the chamber

I have a test light and multi meter.. Not very good with them yet. Stock ignition. How many ohms should be at the coil ?

Not sure how much on a stock coil.

But on a MSD blaster SS coil(like I got) it has 4.4 ohm's when new
