Does the engine crank like it's going to turn over?

Does the starter gear engage the flex-plate?

Do you see fuel spraying down the TB venturi?

Is the distributor bolted down tight? Rotor and cap dry and clear of tracking and cracks?

To be fair, we're operating in the blind here...

they just need to have a no-start section, i bet it would be the busiest one, check your fuses first, it is not too common for no spark or no fuel at the same time, usually means no power to something

thanks guys. yes, engine turns, no gas coming out of injectors and no spark from coil(I tested it with ohmeter and it's ok), all fuses and relays ok, new fuel filter and pump. I'll try with new pick-up coil and ignition module in distributor this weekend, I hope this will solve the problem. Still like to hear more ideas that could help me with this problem. Thank you guys again.

before you start throwing parts at it you need to check if there is power and ground where it needs to have power and ground
