    You need to hear the fuel pump in the gas tank run for 2 seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON.

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter.
    . Do you have spark?

    Check/replace the Ignition Control Module and coil inside the distributor. AutoZone can test these items for free.

    The only thoughts I have are that the Ignition Control Module is bad, internal distributor sensors are bad, or the ignition timing is off. I'd feel better if you checked the ICM and coil. It's possible to have spark, but it doesn't really fire when it should--therefore, the car won't start.

    HAVE YOU CLEANED THE MAIN ECM GROUND ON THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING?

    Well it look like it have on a use distributor so if they replace it and put it back wrong there it would not start right ? Is the ecm ground on the thermostat housing cover in anything cause I try to look for it but there no ground there unless it hiding some where

    The 3-wire brass connector, mounted with a 10 mm bolt, should be on the thermostat housing. It's imperative that you locate and clean this important part of the wiring harness. The black ground wire goes to the ECM.
