Have you checked for spark? pop off one of the spark plug wires and stick the end of a small wrench or something in it (BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE WIRE!!!!) Then use a THICK RUBBER COATED tool of some sort (wire strippers, etc.) to hold the wrench about an eigth of an inch off the block. Have someone else crank the engine and watch the wrench. If you dont see any or a weak spark then you might want to check your coil/wires/alternator/etc.
