99 ZX2 won't start

OK, so I was on here about a month ago while I was replacing the timing belt in my car. Well, that went well, and the car was running great, however, all the sudden, I was driving the car up to the mall, parked it, shopped for about 20-30mins, and when I came back out to it, it would not start. Cranks fine, sounds as if it has compression, but won't hit and run. When the car is cold cold, and has not been attempted to be started in awhile, it'll crank and hit real well like it's going to start, but then doesn't. I did find that a couple of spark plug wires were arcing, so I replaced the plugs and wires, still nothing. I'm getting fuel pushed out of the filter, and have tried a new coil pack. Still nothing. I've tried putting a little ether down the cylinders and putting the plugs back in to start, nothing. What could I possibly be missing? The car hasn't thrown any codes to help me out. I'm going to run a compression test tonight and check that I'm getting spark at the plugs with a timing light (although I'm guessing you can't really check timing on this car like the old days...). Any ideas?
