I was dailying my 240 for four months with no issues until she wouldn't start at the gas station. Up to this point, she was running really good and I had already taken care of a decent bit of maintenance.
She cranks over and the battery is a healthy 12.6 volts so I'm pretty sure I can eliminate the starter and battery as the issue.
Has over 1/3 tank of gas.
The timing belt is on point as I replaced it when I bought the car and it's not loose.
I checked spark by grounding a spark plug on the intake and all four spark plugs have spark.
I checked fuel pressure by loosening the nut on fuel rail and yes fuel squirted out.
I can hear injectors firing with a screwdriver and I also tested power with a 12v light tester so I know there's fuel going into the cylinders as well as spark.
Can't imagine it's compression it wasn't showing any symptoms of low compression before this.
I tried starting with the MAF unplugged and then with the TPS unplugged. No luck.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on where to go next.
