Why won't my car start?!?!?!

RE: Why won't my car start?!?!?!
The timing belt is tight...
The camshaft is turning..
The crankshaft is turning..
The starter is turning the flywheel..
Fuel is getting to the filter..
Fuel is getting to the fuel rail..
The injectors are live when the key is turned over..
The sparkplug boots sparked when grounded..
The sparkplugs were removed and cleaned.. (a little oil on them and a little corroded: but that doesn't explain why it just died all of a sudden)
When the camshaft has UP written on the topmost part.. the distributer fires the sparkplug all the way to the right...
It doesn't start when I pop the clutch...
It shoots something out of the Throttle Body or w/e when I stomp the accelerator.. I don't know if its unburnt gasoline.. but it does look a little dark like oil maybe..
I unplugged the computer or ecu or w/e.. and it tries to crank the exact same way as if it were plugged up.. i dont know if thats relevant or not..
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Check whether you have low compression in the cylinders. Search the forum. Forty04 has a good DIY. You may be able to rent compression tools from AutoZone. Leave a deposit for the value of the tools, and all your money will be refunded when you return them.
