try the knock sensor or crankshaft sensor. it could be lots of things,are you getting spark from your plug wire?..attach a plastic hanled screwdriver in spark plug wire end and hold it about 1/16-1/8 inch from steel to check if its sparking..If not check the ignition module,if not it could be a fuel problem.check to see if your fuel pressure is at the right specs.check all fuses and relays also.let me know if anything worked.

look up the engine cylinder numbers, then look at the front of your engine, or on the intake manifold. There will be a series of raised numbers, (you may have to clean off some grease), this is your timing order. Make sure you have the correct sparkplug wires going to the correct plug from your distributor.(make sure your distributor is mounted correctly) Jody
