What exacly is it doing when you try to start it? Have you checked your fuses?(FYI, next time post stuff like this in the technical section.)

Maybe cheack your timing. You might be 180 out. Did anything happen that lead up to the issue?

You need to take a test light and check for 12v at coil. Have someone crank engine over and test both wires, one will glow and the other should blink slightly. If it doesn't then you don't have trigger to coil. Your igniter could be bad. Check to make sure you have the right computer for a de motor. I don't think they are interchangeable. You say it floods out, then the injectors are working. This tells me the distributer is ok.
