Running great then died, now no start
New here and to Sienna's but not to car repair. Been DIYing for 40 years.
A bit of background...
A buddy got an unbeliveable deal on a "00 Sienna LE. It had been sitting for a year with a very minor problem. Fixed that and it ran great. Cleaned it in & out, including pressure washing the engine (engine running). Changed filter and oil and the next day took it for emissions inspection. It passed with flying colors - still running great, no codes or CEL. Get it home and it starts to run poorly, rough idle and "chugging". He manages to get a code scanner on it and it shows multiple misfirings and a couple other sensor codes that he does not remember clearly. Soon after the engine died and has not restarted since.
It spins over and sometimes tries to fire but will not catch and run.
We have checked that there is fuel at the rail. Don't have an exact pressure but it appears to be quite strong. have checked the spark with a tester and it appears that we have spark but not sure of strength or regularity. We ahve checked all of the fuses and relays. We have checked all of the wiring connectors we can see/reach for a firm cinnection and to be sure they are not water logged. We have cleaned the throttle body and IAC (new IAC gasket). We have checked the Cam sensor and it is within range per the Haynes manuel. We have not checked the Crank sensor yet. Scanner connected during start attempts show the tps is working and no codes (either stored or while cranking).
Still spins, tries to fire but no start.
What am I missing? I'm quickly running out of ideas.
Please, any help or suggestions are very welcome.
