what else have you replaced?
check the main relay, its under the dash on the drivers side and has the numbers 0063 and the words main relay on it.

I replaced spark plugs and the pump an distributor. I've located the main relay. can't tell if the main relay is bad or not . How do I tell ? what else may be the issue ? Thank u for the info so far. It's well appriciated .
is it getting fuel or spark? what about the fuel filter?
best way find one at the junkyard and try it
To check if it's your main relay, turn the key to run (don't crank it) and you should hear the fuel pump prime for about 2-3 secs then a 'clunk' noise from where the relay is. If it does that, your relay is fine. If not, look for a new relay.

I'm having the same problem. The plugs, distributor, and wires are all new (11 months old). I tries the main relay, but that didn't fix it. The fuel pump and filter are fine and the injectors seem to be working fine (misty-spray while cranking). Now i'm going to pull out my icm and have it tested. What else could it be?
check you battery and make sure its good...otherwise ive seen other posts and it ended up being the ignition switch that was faulty

I've replaced the spark plugs, the distributor cap, the ignition coil, the distributor rotor, the ICM, the fuel injectors, and it still won't spark. I'm about at the end of my rope here.
