If the starter turns the engine, that equals "cranking" - pure battery power. If, while cranking, the engine sputters, that is 'almost catches or fires'.

So, your engine "cranks" nicely but you think there is no spark or no fuel. If you pull a spark plug after cranking and it is dry, then I would suggest that you have a fuel delivery problem. Remove the top of the fuse box and pull the pump relay (#103), then jumper 15 and 87 slots and try again. You should hear the fuel pump running as soon as you turn the key to position II. If that works replace the relay.

The crank position sensor has a plug connection, unplug it close to the distributer cap and probe the wires going back to the CPS. Do a search to find the resistance.

If you replaced the plug wires, make sure that the wires are in the correct position: 1-3-5-4-2 with #3 at around 12 O'clock on the distributer cap.
