What was the cause of the no start?

I do NOT know if this works for the 1.9  but it may.

Mark Drillock posted this fuel injector spray and-or spark test for the 2.1 WBX:

Very useful if you're working by yourself or don't have a remote start switch.

Basically, you mark rotor and distributor position, loosen and pull
distributor out far enough so rotor can be turned by hand. Turn key to
ign. on, (do NOT crank engine) turn rotor by hand, check spray pattern
or spark.
