If your timing marks are on ... there is spark and fuel you may just have the firing order off ... When checking the firing order be mindful of the rotation of the engine.
Check for bad / cracked / hardened vacuum hoses, especially to the PCV valve (which is pretty cheap to replace). Also, check the EGR valve, to see it is working. There is also the possibility of low fuel pressure or low fuel volume due to a failing fuel pump, fuel pump relay (if equipped), or a clogged or clogging fuel filter. I should have mentioned to check the fuel to see if it might be contaminated with water. Have you checked to see if the coolant (antifreeze) is low, or if the oil looks like a chocolate shake? That can happen if coolant is leaking into the oil via a failing head gasket or cracked water jacket!
Hi sounds like the typical fuel pump or filter problem with these cars, best way to tell is take top fuel hose off on fuel filter under hood, turn key on ignition (not start) and fuel should pump out, if not its your pump, just beware of doing when engine is hot
Are you getting fuel need to check left side fuel rail push pin in if you get fuel your ok if not need to check fuse and check relay under hood make sure your ware glasses lots of presure dont need gas in the eyes oh key on
Have you replaced the timing belts recently? The timing belts in these cars run both the cams and the distributor. If one comes off or breaks the engine wont do anything. The fix is not too bad if it is just the belt(s)
May be the timing belt, is it getting gas? And is it getting spark? You can pull off one side of the black timing belt cover to check that or try pulling off the distributor cap and see if the rotor spins. If not, the belt is broken. That would be the easiest first thing to try.
check the wiring for cracks, it could be that the coil is damaged and wont send a spark to the plugs.
unplug one of the spark plugs out put a rcrew driver in it close to the block or something metallic. put it down, have some one crank the vehicle " do not touch the cable if coil is alive you will see a spark coming out of it and will strike you "
if coil is alive then you have a plug problem. remove all plugs and replace them.
