Default 99 R/T wont start!

Was driving to work one day just pulled out of my driveway drove down the road and all of a sudden everything shut off and the steering wheel locked up and got it to the side and got it towed.

Compression is fine, battery is fine, timing belt looks good, switched some relays and it still wont start. It cranks but never does any more. Its getting air and fuel so im not sure whats going on. Any ideas?

Check to make sure you have spark, could be a bad ignition coil...

How did you verify you have fuel?

You are getting 2 of the 3 things needed...missing spark. Check plugs, wires, related relays and fuses.

Did you have the battery checked? I know you said it was good, but how was it verified? Is it putting out enough cranking volts?

Took the battery to auto zone and had it checked, its rather new and was in excellent condition, and yes i have spark so im kind of confused as of now.

What is your fuel pressure? Should be at 49psi.
