    Does the L have an ignition module? Had one that gave me similar problems, but was on a ford/lincoln.

    I had this happen on my Mazda, we tried everything before I pulled off the timing belt cover and yanked out the belt ...

    The good news is, I had said it was timing the whole time, so I wasn't the one who looked like an ass ;)

    try the igniter. it the little black box mounted above the pitch stop. that thing tells your car when to fire.

    do you have spark leaving the coil pack? maybe try looking for faryed wires between the igniter/coil/sensors and the ecu. or try another ecu.

    go MSD ignition and let 'er buck. w/a stand alone ignition system you should get plenty of spark ;-).

    have you tried a different ecu? maybe yours hit the wall with all this logic learning stuff, old dog new tricks ya know.
