So it may be a spark problem as well. I am leaning towards the "throttle position sensor" but am looking for other input.
Leading up to the not starting, I had some violent backfires.
Make sure you have good hot blue spark out of coil and on threw cap and rotor on to plugs.
Check cap for cracks.
Make sure dist shaft bushings are not worn out.
