with those checks. Also, does it have spark? Yes, I know you said 'no fuel from injectors'. However, the injectors signal to fire originates at the pick up coil. If that's bad, you won't have spark, OR fuel injection. I'd check for spark first. Easy, fast...tells you if you have a tach signal.

I would check the electrical connections on the side of the distributor cap. Could be the jostling of the cap while trying to remove it re-established a connection. I'd also check the condition of the wires on the tach filter. They have been known to cause no run issues.
