97 taco 3rz no spark no start

Car just refused to start on me. Starter cranks but will not fire up.

I tested continuity on the following with engine cold:
cam sensor: 1120 ohms
crank sensor: 2100 ohms
coils: 350ohms

Can anyone tell me if these are within range? I cant visually tell if the spark plug is bad so i'm going to get new ones right now. Thanks in advance for help.

Did you check the fuses? EFI fuse or another may have blown. A loose ground wire?

I randomly tested the efi fuse terminal with a wire and the car started but ran like crap then stalled. Also the check engine light came on for the first time. It hasnt come on the whole time since the car died.

The plastic around the efi fuse is melted really bad. Could the fuse be not making contact?

Can I clip the wires that are on the other side of the efi fuse terminal and splice them into an aftermarket fuse holder?
