No Start - What should I try next? 200 1983

Here is what happened and what I have tried.
Drove car 5 miles to work running fine. Car will not start for trip home.
Engine cranks normal speed but will not fire. Coil and Plugs both giving spark.
2 year old distributer and rotor look good. Timing is correct. Timing belt is fine. Detached fuel line from injector rail, gas shoots out fuel rail when engine cranks. Gas shoots out of cylinder when plugs removed and engine is cranked.
I replaced 4 spark plugs. CAR STARTS AND RUNS FINE. (?Plugs fouled from flooding?) Test drive car. Runs good for 3 miles, then when accelerator is pressed from idle car almost stalls, then stalls.
Restarts on first try but stalls again. Now I am back to square one, car will not fire at all. Tried unplugging mass airflow sensor, no effect.
What do you think?(Too much fuel pressure? Clogged catalytic converter? Bad Coolant temp Sensor?) Only other info I feel is relevant is that the car has been running cool for the last two years. Please help. Thanks
