check your distributor. if that is good make sure you are getting a spark from the coil. put the coil wire really close to metal, turn the lights down, and try to start the car.

sounds like a distributor problem.....

1. check all your sprak plug wires and make sure they are properly inserted and snug
2. if you have an extra distributor, try that
3. cap and rotor

if your car turns and doesnt fire up:
check your ignitor
