also, is it just cranking over but not starting? then it could be a few different things, one thing u can try is take off ur air intake and spray quick start into the throttle body and see if it starts that way, if it does it could be a fuel problem, if it doesnt its a spark problem, in which case it could be the coil, distributor cap, rotor, wires, or plugs, which can be expensive if you replace them all at once, or u could have a bad ground wire as well, i believe if one or 2 are bad then the car will either run like shit or not run at all

If the car is cranking over, turn the ignition on(no start) & listen for the fuel pump, should cycle on for 5 seconds. No fuel pump heard, replace the main relay. It could even be an ignition problem.
Check the basic's & start from there - Spark -- Fuel

Let me know if you got it started I might be able to come down to the city and try and help you out tommorow. I also have a spare main relay and starter if your going to need either of them. Had the car been starting and running fine. I also can get you a distributor if need be.
