. Ensure battery is fully charged.

. Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

. Check for codes.

. Test for spark.

. Test/replace the Ignition Pickup/Stator and coil. AutoZone can test coils for free. Ensure spark plugs, spark plug wires, rotor, and distributor cap are in good shape.

. Test for fuel. Ensure fuel pump runs and fuel filter has been replaced recently.

Odds are 90%+ that the problem is electrical-related, not fuel.
