Little help here with car not starting...already searched

Ok so today I cleaned the egr, installed new fuel pump, cleaned distributor cap and rotor, tested the ignition control module at autozone and it was good, noticed that the wires for the distributor were frayed so i cleaned them up and taped them, cleaned distributor and tried to take it apart but couldn't really take the wires out so reassembled it. I tested the wire leads like the repair manual states and all was good. I have spark and there is fuel getting to the rail, what am I missing?? Could it be that the distributor is fried now? Could that cylinder position sensor inside the distributor be the problem? Any help is welcomed. Thanks.

Had it been sitting quite a while before not starting? Mine has done that three different times now after sitting for a month or so. Mine has always started by repeatedly cranking with the throttle wide open. Not sure if it's fuel pump related or what...will probably get worse until I fix it.

Unfortunately, the ny asian escort regulations still have its imperfections. The use of Internet advertisements has its own ny asian escorts drawbacks. A certain Internet ad may be legal in one state but offensive to the laws of another. Minority age also differs in every state. Though there are sites that ny escorts prohibit free viewing or limit the viewing of their pages to a certain age bracket, technical limitations still ny escort leave actual viewing discretion to the customers.
