Hi Fred.
I am sorry you could not get it to run.
If you cleaned and checked every wire, sensor, EGR valve etc. then I am thinking the ECM (computer) is not working.

 

when the car is cold, it runs in open loop ignoring o2 sensors. check the engine coolant sensor (if the car has one), spark plug gap and the distributor timing. when the engine dies, pull out a spark plug and check it. is it wet? check the intake temperature sensor too, if it has one.
