HI
No disrespect intended,but your going to need a noid light....need to see what going on there.
Could Possibly have a wiring problem...Open or grounded circuit.
PCM problem..PCM ground problem....
Or something else..
Not sure if Autozone rents noid light kit or not...check with them

Might want to check all fuses with a test light also. There are 2 ECM fuses. A blown one may bcause trhe injectors not to work.
Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Hmm that engine does utilize a timing chain so would rule that out  is the engine light on? You have done great checking spark and fuel . there are some pretty low cost scanners available at the parts place . dont remember off hand if that system has a shrader valve to test fuel with a cheap gauge even though you have fuel flowing it may not be enough to fire the engine up. Good Luck

Fig. 2: The timing chain tensioner is retained by a Torx head bolt (1) and a regular hex head bolt (2)
Just a general note on cars with timing chains - above is for this engine with a tensioner as shown. This car is 12 years old and most of the originals like this came new with nylon gear teeth for the cam gear and they absolutely could just wear down nice and even or throw chunks and bits out.
This style does seem tons more dependable than the rubber belt but they do in fact fail and shouldn't rule them out. In my own experience I've never had one of these break but rather "jump" one or more teeth - by 2-4 teeth they won't run but have a tell-tale cranking sign of low compression from the improper valve timing.
My own guess: This style is not a lkely problem for the first 100+ K miles, but should be considered after that,
