Is the car off the street?
If not, get it to your garage asap.
First, you need to check the basics.
Is the air filter clogged?
Do you have fuel pressure?
Does it have spark?
Is there enough compression to start?
After that, check... aaaaaa **** it... just check you battery grounds. It sounds like your starter might be taking a crap. Get the engine to crank over first and we'll go from there. Also, check for a CEL at key on. Does it come on, you hear the fuel pump come on and then goes off?
If not, get it to your garage asap.

Do you have access to a multimeter?
Once you check that, we can condemn your dizzy.

Unplug your dizzy.
With someone cranking the engine over, check your positive (+) wires from the diagram above. See what they put out. I think some might be just signals, so you might not see 12V+.
But just to make sure, find the heavy gauge Blk/Ylw wire. That is you ignition coil (+). Measure that with your multimeter. If it shows 12v+ while cranking, then it usually means your ignition coil took a dump. Which you can buy and replace, instead of buying a whole dizzy.
