Distributor only distributes spark to each sparkplug at the propper time, if u said u have checked spark, then it's not the distributor unless it's not rotating or jas skipped time, but if that was the case it wouldn't run by spraying quick start. Check actual fuel pressure and see what it is. Are u getting any engine codes
