1996 Nissan z32, Engine Light on the Dashboard won't come on, cranks but won't start.

Hello everyone. I have a 1996 Nissan z32 that was working great until almost a week ago, when it stopped running. One thing I notice is that when I turn the key, the Check Engine Light on the Dashboard won't come on. The car cranks but won't start.
I checked the ECU and the capacitor was burned but I repaired it and the problem is still the same, no Engine light, it cranks but wont start.

Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Any answers, suggestions, comments would be much appreciated.

Welcome to ZDriver!

An engine needs 3 things to start:
-Proper fuel
-Proper spark
-Proper compression

Have you verified that the fuel pump is working? Fuel pressure?
Have you verified spark at all plugs?

All points to a toasted fuse / fusible link or ecu.
