Does it have fuel pressure? if so how much?. Will it fire up if you spray carb cleaner in the throttle bore? If you have pressure, ou should take a fuel sample at the engine to see what it looks like

How about spark? those had problems with crank angle sensors, which would cause a loss of spark

Thats odd, if it has spark, it should start with carb spray sprayed into it. May want to try that again. Check all fuses with a test light too.

No, codes wont keep it from running.If it has spark out of the coil, be sure it has it at the plugs.
