Nowadays I would suggest the fault lies in the ignition system first.

No. Don't just throw parts at it.

Use multimeter to test continuity at plug cables, rotor and cap.

There should be some resistance reading. If none only then replace them.

When my car wouldn't start (crank ok) recently, I tested the plug cables 2 failed out of 4. There are 4 Otto cycles in our engines. Of course 2 out of 4 wouldn't make it work.
