Is check engine light on???
Is this a 3.3 3ngine???
How many miles on vehicle???
Do you have spark or fuel??
When you first turn on the ignition key to run do you hear the fuel pump run for about 3 seconds, if not tap on the gas tank with a board or rubber mallet and see if that helps.
Check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure tester. If you don't have one check with autozonew they may have one in there rent a tool program.
Remove a spark plug wire and intall a spark plug into wire or screwdriver and ground it and have someone crank the engine over to see if you have spark.
Did the engine just die while running or just won't start after sitting a while???
Timing belt ever replaced???
When was the last tune up done???
Take off the distributor cap and check to see if the bolt holding on the rotor did not fall out. Is the distributor shaft loose?? The distributor's can be a problem, the optical sensor could have dust on it caused by a bad distributor shaft bearing. Could also be Crankshaft sensor?
