Timing Might be off
possible bad crank or cam sensor test this by removing the connector set your multi-meter to AC unplug coil, probe both sides of crank sensor and get someone to crank it over. A typical sensor will have an output above 200 mV.
Also Might be clogged catalytic converter(s). the easiest way to check this is just by taking out both upstream(before the cat) O2 sensors and driving it see if it has power again.

Those are some things you could check.
