This happened to me once. What type of car? what do you have installed? tech, auto-gauges, strobe lights, glow lights, interglows, cool lights, etc. just joking. but really? did you recently or install something new or already had something new?

Well no spark then huh... its probably your distributor. When your distributor has no spark your car goes weirdo on the acceleration pedal. That is what happened to me. I installed a auto-tachometer on my EG6 and it created grounding problems, making my car acceleration pedal go bazzerk, resulting in burning my Distributor. That is why I asked you if you had any recent installation. Well try that and see if it works.

when its not starting check to see if your tach moves while the engine is cranking...usually a good sign of distributor or more specifically ignitor failure...also if the tach is "jumping" a bit while driving (esp at higher rpms) it is also usually a indicator of impending ignitor failure

If you are not getting spark it is usually something in the distributor i.e. ignitor or coil, or in some cases the crank sensor
