Grrr

Was gonna take the beater out tonight for some fun...
Drive it to the gas station, no problems.
Get home, running a little rough, engine shaking around a lot... run some seafoam through it... no change. Turn it off for a while.

Turn it back on, sounds like a V-Twin bike, engine shaking around like crazy, take it around the block, almost no power...

Unplug each plug wire, one at a time. Engine dies with all except #3 unplugged

Change plug wires

Engine wont fire at all. Turns over. Doesnt seem like its getting spark.
Change the coilpack.

Still wont start.

Unplug all fuel injectors, turn it over a few time, plug them back in, no start.

Cant hear the fuel pump priming, so I replace it with a walbro. Now I can hear the pump, but still no fire...

So in summary:
Replaced Wires, Coilpack, Fuel pump, checked all wiring and vacuum

No dice.

IDFG.

Sorry, that sucks. I'll think about it for some miraculous cure.

Ignitor??

I am going to try guessing. Dead battery, alternator, ECU. Betting on ECU

Might also be because your beater is beat on the driver side, and it needs some loven (a body restoration) XD

If it was a dead battery it wouldnt turn over

That sounds like exactly what happened to my car when the MAF died. Even when you pulled wire 3 and nothing happened...exactly what happened to my car.
