if you have fuel and spark, like jackass#1 said, check fuel pressure, check for vacume leaks, plugs, wires, cap, roter, and also check to see how "powerful" of a spark you have, ive had the problem b4 with having spark, just not strong enough to do anying... and timeing, the bushings at the bottum of the dizzy can sometimes go bad, havnt seen it but once or twice, but if you like to give her hell, you may have worn out the teeth and now its "jumped" timeing
