Have you done preventive maintenance and tune-ups on the car?

I'd recommend:
- pulling the distributor cap off and making sure that the rotor is still in place and the locator tab hasn't given up and allowed the rotor to freespin on the dizzy shaft (happened to me one time!)
- swap the ignition coil
- go through all of the ignition-related connectors and make sure that they're not corroded
- check ground straps from engine to chassis
- pull all four plugs, attach em to their respective cords, then confirm none of 'em have spark. If none of em have spark, it's either the coil, igniter ($$), or the ECU ($$$)
- if it's none of those, you'll have to spend some time tracing a bunch of wires to confirm +12v

When you crank the motor, does it catch at all and seem like 1 or 2 of the cylinders are firing? Or does it just turn over and not catch at all?
