    No spark or no fuel.

    Old shade tree trick is to pull off the big flexible house that goes into the throttle body/plenum, spray a couple seconds worth of starting fluid directly into the plenum. If its fires up its a fuel delivery problem. Usually a dead fuel pump, faulty accumulator, relay power supply to the pump problem or fuel distributor metering flap are leading areas to lack of fuel. But the spray test can quickly rule out other problems
