No check engine light. Scanned with our scanner from the shop and everything looked ok. I didn't personally do that part. One of the mechanics did.

I did check the fuel pressure tonight. for the whole whopping maybe 1 minute that the car ran i had about 50 psi with vacuum connected. Which is close to what the book i have says it should have..

however..after it died it would only get up to about 20 psi of pressure. After sitting for a little bit, it would build close to 50 psi but still wouldn't fire off.

And your right..I didn't quite read that right on the ignition timing. Sorry.
