The car was starting and I was driving it, until one day it just died as I was driving down the street. Now the car will not start, It is sparking and I can see where the gas squirting out but Im still stumped on what would cause it not to start.

Check to see if the timing chain is ok. Put cyl#1 on tdc an dsee where rotor for dist is pointing to #1 or not.
