take the coil wire off the distributor cap and see if it has spark there if theres no spark check the coil. check all fuses as well. if theres a spark then check the cap and rotor for damage white residue on them. could be a the distributor but take it one step at a time good luck

Make sure the battery has a good charge, my sr would crank over and had fuel but wouldn't fire because my battery was dead even tho the engine sounded like it was turning over strong. after thati'd get a volt tester and pin point the last place the harness has power. possible coil packs fried? check ecu for codes too.
