Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have replaced distributor cap. Rotar button. Coil.  Coil wires.  Ignition module and the car still won't start.  It will crank...but not start.  Had the fuel pump checked..and it is not the problem.  Seems like it just isn't getting the fire it needs to start up.

Fuel and spark are the only 2 things that keep an engine from running. You said the fuel pump is okay, but have you verified fuel is getting to the injectors/carb ? If so, check for spark
