Hi,
Have you checked the ignition fuse(s) in the fuse box under the hood(should be 30 amp fuses)?
Start there, (maybe on the passenger side on the firewall, or on the drivers side (side or front of compartment). Sorry I can't find a diagram, but there should be a diagram under the lid. Then the ECM, Battery Power (if applicable). And main relay. Start with those. Also I think it might be worth checking fuses 1,2 and maybe 4 in the passenger compartment box.
Hope this helps you!

If those three items are replaced and it still doesn't fire up, look for a possible computer problem.
Or, look for a broken wire or fuse for the ignition system.

Good luck on this repair.

Ok i recently changed spark plugs on my 1994 buick skylark. when i was done changing plugs i started car up and smelled strong exhaust smell. so i checked the plugs wires and found out that when i pulled...

Did you mean coil the 1994 3.1 did not use a distributor , sounds like a bad coil pack and cylinders #3 and #6 do use the same coil. I would also check 3 and 6 plug wires this system is a waste spark design meaning when # 3 coil fires it is supposed to go through #3 plug wire , through #3 plug ( ground) through the engine block through the #6 plug then through the #6 wire then back to the coil, Then when #6 fires it works the opposite way, so in theory you could have one bad wire affecting 2 cylinders .....
