You need three things to start a car: Fuel, Spark, and Compression.
Your engine turns over, and you have fuel, so that's a good start, now
take one of your spark plugs out, cover the hole with something, and
ground the spark plug. Turn the ignition switch and check to see if
there is spark. If not, there is something wrong with your ignition
system. I would replace the wires, plugs, distributor cap and rotor
first. Troubleshooting from there is a real pain.... I had a bad
igintion module (little part inside the distributor) once, so I tend
to look at them as inherently suspicios; but the pickup coil is
another likely suspect. If you have a system that has a separate coil
for each cylinder be very careful, as the voltage is very high on
those. I probably wouldn't try to service something like that without
a shop manual...
