Probably the coil has a problem. pob. will need to replace it.
These cars are known for both ignition coils going bad, and the electronic ignition control modules - for which there is a testing procedure - (any Haynes manual will tell you, I believe) - as well as a test procedure for the coil (Ohm reading - be careful not to apply power/ground to coil to test it, as it will shock you good) The module is a little, black, semi "u" shaped, 5 prong connector electronic controller that is inside the distributor. This unit controls the ignition system. They are about $15 I think, and readily available. I used to keep one to test with because I found it easier just to slip one in and it often did the job...
No spark on any coil pack?
Bet on the crank sensor
Have you checked your plug wires to see that are tight? The plug wire may need replaced.

check to make sure that your cat and muffler are not clogged up ie: if exhaust can not go out air can not come in
SOURCE: engine turns over but will not start
Check the distributor and timing order to make sure it has not jumped at all from a timing malfunction.

Does your engine turn over, just not fire? if it sounds like it wants too start but its not firing, try your distributor. this happened to my car last week actually, went out and bought a new dist. and it is fine now. its a big expense, so try to find one at a junk yard and they say you can take it back if its not that. thats your best bet. hope it helps.

Make sure that you are getting a clean, blue, spark. Not an orange spark. And also it could be off time.

Could try the crank sensor, that is where I would start. Next would be the timing & compression.
