Do you have a CEL On prior to this problem?

No start condition:

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

If you're not getting spark you need to check the the ignition components I've given you earlier.

Spray starting fluid into the throttle body did it start and die
