Sounds like you'll need to check to see if it is getting spark first. To do this, take one of the spark plugs out, and while it's OUT of the vehicle, connect it to the proper spark plug wire from the car. Get an insulated pair of pliers or gloves and hold the spark tip close to a piece of metal while someone else cranks the motor over. Watch for a spark, if there is no spark there, try replacing the spark plugs first. If there's still no spark after replacing the plugs, then move on to replacing the distributor cap OR the coil packs(it has one or the other).
maby your ignition coil is bad? pull a wire off stick a screwdriver in and hold the metel part of the screwdriver close (maby 1/16") to a ground while you get someone else to crank the engine if no spark you may need a coil if you got a spark maby its your cap
If there is no spark at the spark plugs, check for spark coming out of the coil. If there is spark coming out of the coil, replace your distributor cap, rotor and spark plugs, and spark plug wires. (Do a tune up)
If there is no spark at the coil, the most likely cause would be the crank sensor or the ignition control module.
Pull a spark plug wire out, put it on one of the old spark plugs, make sure the spark plug is touching metal (needs to be grounded) and have someone turn the engine over, to see if there is a spark.
If there is no spark, the most likely problem is the ignition control module.

If there is none of spark at each spark plug when you crank the engine. Assuming that you checked the spark like that, unless you have other way in doing this, then the problem is the ignition module. The spark at the secondary coil is only generates a spark at a spark plug if there is a pulse voltage at a primary coil. The pulse voltage is not there then there is no spark. The one generates the pulse voltage is the ignition module when the starting is in action. Hop this can help.
While checking for "spark" = "fire" make sure you do it properly. These shocks hurt and could result in injury or even death.
1. Pull and check the Spark Plug for Cylinder #3. There are spark plug tester's at autoparts stores that you can buy and some are for rent. They are easy to use. If still no Spark PROCEED to Steps #2 and #3 below before replacing the Spark Plug. If the Spark Plus is dirty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped: clean, and regap the plug and recheck.
2. Check for "fire" at the spark plug end of the wire for Cylinder #3. Is there consistent sparking? If not then PROCEED to Step #3 below before replace the wires.
3. Check for "fire" at the Coil="Distributor" for Cylinder #3. Is there consistent sparking from the Coil? If not the Coil could be Bad.
If there is Consistent Spark from the Coil but no Spark from the Wire = Replace the Wire.
If there is Consistent Spark from the Coil and Wire = Replace the Plug.

There are 2 things to make it started: Spark and Fuel. Check out to see if there is a spark on the spark plug. If there is no spark, then check the coil pack back to the ignition module. Check out if there is fuel to make spark plug wet after several cranks. If there is not, then check the fuel pump. fuel filter, injectors module and injectors. Good luck.
