Are you getting fuel? Is the timing set right? Have you done any work on your car recently? Check engine light by chance?

Be careful doing this but..
Un plug your fuel filter and then prime it and see if fuel comes out.

Re: won't start (biggunnz)

Simple test. Check the ECU for a CODE 4. We had fuel and a fresh MAIN relay. It is possible that one of the sensors in the distributor has failed. If you get a CODE 4 that is the Crank ANgle Sensor. This part fails due to the bearing failing in older distributors. If you have replaced the Cap and Rotor recently and the setscrew is tight then those can be ruled out usually. With the cap off-check for red dust on the internal components--there should be none. Just my experiences.
