Mr Russel, welcome to MX-3.com. It may be best to get going on the right foot. First, naming your thread "Help Me" does absolutely no good to anyone on this board if you were hoping to make your problem's solution viable for someone else benefit down the road. It's necessary to chose an appropriate title if initiatiing a thread so it can later benefit other members with similar issues.
That said, did you not do a search for others with similar problems. You may find that there are a few out there with similar issues.
You have fuel
You have spark
You have changed almost all the necessary parts that would apply to this type of problem.
What you haven't mentioned and what's routinely asked for is surrounding elements of the issue. For example, what mods have been done, mileage, etc.... The next plausable search would be to confirm that the cam belt is 100% serviceable and that it hasn't jumped a tooth or two. You could get similar indications that everything is serviceable like spark and fuel but unfortunately it's occuring at the wrong time and therefore the engine is not catching. I'm assuming that it's not catching at all because you made no mention that it was.
Try confirming that and please amend your thread to a more appropriate title please.

spark fuel & compresson are all good?

if so try pulling an o2 sensor if it starts and runs at all than the cat or muffler is clogged.

what do you mean by weak spark is it blue or orange ?
