    You made me doubt what I remembered so I went to test the cylinder compression pressure again. I got 125 psi and some change for all the cylinders. Phewfff!!!

    - I removed the fuel pump and put an external fuel source with solid 50 psi coming from an external compressor. Powered on the car and still no engine start.
    - At this point, engine timing is good, fuel is good, air sensors are good. Throttle body is good. Cam and Camshaft sensors are good.

    - Only thing left is exhaust... I removed the catalytic converter from the exhaust manifold and voila! Engine starts and runs smooth without any issues.

    That was a long and arduous process... but thanks to all of you for your help.

    Cheers!
