Your vehicle is supposed to have a catalytic converter unless it's like pre-1982 or something like that. It's a federal offense to not have them.

You need to figure out if you're losing fuel or spark. You said it had spark, so it should fire when you spray carb cleaner in it. That would confirm that the injectors are not firing. If none of them are firing, then it has to be the injector power someway or another and new injectors aren't going to work either. Check the red wire to the injectors when the car is cold (i.e. able to run). Check again when the car has stopped running, and won't start at all. See if the 12 volts is gone...
