How about some details? Did this happen out of the blue? Was the check engine light on for weeks? Did anybody do work on the car immediately before?
Did you look at the timing chain?

You've spent a good chunk of money replacing parts. Checking the timing chain is pretty close to free. Pull the valve cover and have a look. The chain should not have any looseness at all.

Also get a code reader and see what diagnostic codes are present. Post them up here, just the alphanumeric codes, ignore the descriptions, as they are often misleading.

What is "bad gas" that ruins a car? Do you mean diesel fuel?
Another basic free test is a compression test. Most auto parts stores will "lend" a compression test kit, you pay for it then get a refund when you return it.
If it ran diesel there isn't much hope.

"bad gas" + "tank cleaning" = sand or flakes in gasoline (probably)...
If so, look for anything that could be blocked by the flakes. Most likely injectors.
