Default 1990 will not start

I have a 1990 camry with about 170,000 miles on it. I was in the jack in the box drive thru when it died and will not restart. It cranks over fine. The timing belt is fine. I have spark and fuel pressure at the rail. I checked all fuses and they are fine also. Any ideas? Do these have a crankshaft position sensor on them?

V6 or 4 cylinder?

There are no remote crank or cam sensors. All the sensors are built into the distributor.

Fuel pressure should be something like 33-44 psi depending on what test is being done.

Is the spark hot, as in able to jump 1/2 inch or more of gap?

How did you make out with that? I have a 1990 Camry which would turn over but not start. It was the ignition coil. Replaced it (at about $90.00) and it fired right up.

Cheers,
