If you had a bad ecu or bad coils, it would still crank normally, but it wouldn't start, and i never seen 2-3-4 coils go bad at once

Didn't you say it was running, shut off and never started again, why would that be a ground problem?

hopefully the previous owner remembered to put oil in it...sounds like there is something seized somewhere, maybe one of the tension pulleys or the starter might have seized up. Hope you get lucky and it isn't anything in the motor.

How did you conclude the timing was off? You can't check the ignition timing because it doesnt run.

If the cam timing is off, it would have never ran at all. If either cam is one tooth off, the engine will not fire at all. Ever.

If you are saying it never ran before the rebuild, then yes the cam timing could be off.
