Did you check your ignition coil? Make sure everything is plugged in and all looks good, it's located on the driver side of the engine bay by the air box. If everything looks good unplug the wire that comes out of it into the distributor, on the distributor side. Stick a screw driver or something in it and hold it 1/2 away from something that is not painted on the engine, have someone turn over the car and see if it sparks. Try not to hold the metal part of the screw driver, it doesn't feel to nice :p

That should get you started at least to see if the problem is before, or after the coil.
