check fuel pressure, should be 45-55 on key cycle
check for spark at the end of the plug wires,
if possible back probe a fuel injector and check for pulse form pcm. see what you are missing and go from there. Also do you have any rodent problems, aka chewed up crank sensor harness, injector harness ect. do a complete visual and make sure nothing is unplugged chewed missing. let us know what you come up with. oh and the pats thing you are correct it would not crank if that was the case. good luck
