Ok well quick update of what is going on to give you a better idea, and maybe help me find a solution. Im getting plent of fuel and fire, but it still wont turn over. Im thinking maybe it jumped time or the timing belt may be loose or even broke. Thats the only other thing I can think of.

Define "plenty of fuel" in psi please. There is absolutely no way you can tell the difference between 50psi and 60psi by depressing the shrader valve at the test port. As already stated, 50psi is not enough for the engine to run. You need to put a pressure gauge on the fuel pressure test port and let us know the reading. THIS THREAD describes the process for testing fuel pressure.

All that that verifies is that it wasn't a lean fuel condition.

Yep, charge your battery, and while thats happening go get a fuel pressure gauge. Troubleshooting a vehicle problem via the internet is hard enough, but when you can't/won't supply the requested information it becomes impossible.
