Cranks but will not fire or start. No spark, no fuel.

Hi,

I believe the fuel system shuts down if there is no ignition. Do me a favor. Take a look through this link. It explains how to retrieve codes on an OBD1 system like this vehicle has. You don't need a scan tool. All that is needed is a short jumper wire or even a paper clip.

Try this and let me know if you retrieve any codes.
