I already checked/done: Replaced all the electrical, including starter, ignition switch, computer, coil distributer etc.

More Info required
Does the black with yellow wire at the distributor have power to ground with the key on?

Addition I tested all the wires going into the distributor for power and ground and they were within specs. I don't recall if the key was on. The car is not here now so I can't check again.

Answer If you have 12 volts at the black with yellow and the distributor is turning and have no spark, your looking at a problem with the crankshaft sensor on the timing belt sproket for the crank shaft. I would try replacing those parts.
