Need help. Crank/no start condition on 1984 Z31 Turbo

Hey everyone, my Z31 hit a little bump going home about a week ago, drove fine for about an hour, then started struggling above 3500rpm in 1st and 2nd gear. When I made it home, it would crank but not start.

Anyways, I have replaced the ignition coil, CAS, and PTU (did the PRW2 upgrade). Still zero spark, zilch.

If you all were in my shoes where would you begin? I’m open to any and all fresh ideas because at least one of them has to be right lol

Is my hood recoverable without a respray?

Curious what you all think. It’s been a constant battle polishing my hood for the year I’ve owned this car. I’ve polished it 2-3 times, never looks right and the oxidation returns within days.

There’s a little bit of clear coat missing by the passenger headlight that’ll need to be fixed eventually, but the whole hood just looks really bad from certain angles when it’s dry. Looks good as hell when it rains though.

I’ve washed, clay barred, and polished. Just all the basic stuff. There’s a bit of residue from my roommate’s last polish attempt but no matter what I do it just looks clapped even without residue. This is the last thing I need to do for it to actually look nice.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
