90 300ZX help

Hi all,
My girl ended up buying this 90 300ZX (A/T) and it has been a total nightmare. It has been to several mechanics and no one can figure out why it will not fire up. It cranks over and tries to start. Seems to want to turn over but just ends up coughing. It does start for a second when being sprayed constantly with starting fluid.
If anyone can tell me where to go from here, I will be very grateful.

Here is the list the recent things done to the car:
Newer Wiring harness
Spark Plugs
Camshaft position sensor
Ignition control module
Fuel pump
Fuel pressure regulator
Majority of the fuel line
Battery + terminals
All fluids/filters changed
Exhaust and cats

Also, this car is located in Sacramento, CA. If anyone can come over and fix the problem personally, we will give them $300 cash.
-Anthony

Sorry to hear of your troubles. But all that stuff was changed without looking at the fuel injectors?

Thank you for your input. They were visually inspected but I am going to have her take them to get tested at a injector shop(DoctorInjector).

ANY history on the Car?..

Have you EVER seen it run?.. was it a D.D. then it just Quit one day?.. Or was it purchased not running..

Sounds like a full check up is necessary..
1) Compression Check
2) Fuel Pressure at Cranking
3)Ignition Timing during Cranking
4)Cranking Spark test on ALL Cylinders.

Try jumping the fuel pump, also make sure there is gas in the tank.
