Just to make sure we understand. The engine is cranking over when you try to start it right? The starter causes the engine to revolve, but it will not start and run.

Check for spark by removing a sparkplug wire inserting a metal object into the plug boot and crank the engine over while hold the plug boot/metal object close to a ground (engine head will work)

Check for fuel delivery problem by spraying starting fluid directly into the throttle body after removing the large flex hose connected to it. Open the throttle to allow the spray to enter the intake manifold. Replace hose. Crank it over and if it runs momentarily then stalls you have a fuel delivery problem.

Most often a no start situation with this car will be either a fuelpump relay problem, a radio supression relay problem or an defective RPM sensor.

Post back to this thread with the results of your search for a fuel or spark problem and someone will probably jump right on it.
