Get a repair manual and follow the instructions is to how to check the coil/distributor pick-up coil and air gap-these item checks out -could be the ignition control module.

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 ground it to the engine and have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If not troubleshoot the ignition system.
