If you have spark and the motor has not been worked on recently, then the last key ingredient is fuel. If you checked for spark by removing the coil wire and seeing a spark, go all the way downstream and remove all the spark plugs to be sure you have spark right at the electrode. Sometimes the distributor rotor is accidently left off, therefore not allowing spark to get to the plugs. Check the fuel pump relay and is could be possible the fuel pump just quit. Squirt some fuel into the intake manifold and see if that gives a short burst of combustion which means you are not getting fuel.
