Do below and tell me what happened

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-

I'm having the same problem the above user has. I changed mine from auto to a manual when the aut tranny went out.

If it's not getting spark how do you locate the distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors? The thing about my car is that after a long time of trying to crank it will start and then when I turn it off and back on it just turns over again.
