Default Need help asap car won't start

This morning I started my car to goto work. The car started and ran like crap for about five seconds and then died. I turned the key off and opened the hood. A spark plug wire was off from cylinder 3. I thought this was going to be an easy problem so I plugged it back in and tried to start the car again and it will not start. So I unplugged a spark plug wire again and got someone to turn the car over for me and it doesn't seem to be sparking? What should I check for? Any certian fuse that could have blown to prevent it from starting? Need help asap.

If it matters I have a b16 in my 94 CX. Before now, I never had any problems with it.
Thanks
~Charles

What do you mean by red death? What should it look like if it is bad?

Ok, I removed the dist. cap and there is no red dust in there... Any other ideas? Maybe the ignitor? If so, how do I get to it after I get the cap off?
