Check the ignition coil or maybe the distributor cap. See if you are actually getting spark to the first plug by taking it out, reattaching the spark plug wire, then set it against the block while trying to restart it. If it spaks, the coil or cap shouldn't be bad. The last thing to do is to make sure the fuel pump is working. See if you can hear it coming on by turning the key on without starting it. You should hear a whirring near the trunk. If you don't, you probably have a bad fuel pump. Good Luck!!
