Default Can't start my car.

So my 94 ford taurus recently overheated and died. Trying to figure out whats wrong with it cause it wont start now. I've checked for spark, compression, fuel getting to cylinders thats all good (even sprayed starting fluid into the intake). The ignition coil resistances read satisfactory. The timing seams good "hard to tell since car wont run". It cranks so the engine is not siezed. The distributer has no cracks and the rotor is turning. I have everything i can think of and it wont go bang and start. Im looking for any more ideas of what could be wrong.

A week coil output will causes a no-start condition. How did you check for spark? Pull a wire and see if a spark jumped? A week coil will provide a good spark in an ambient atmosphere, but too little to jump the plug gap under compression. I'd try a new coil. Being a 1994, I'd change it anyways as it's a time and temperature wear item.
