It sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out by we should check for spark. This video can help.

If there is no spark here is the location of the crankshaft angle sensor. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know how it goes

Make sure you have oil pressure and the oil pressure sensor by the distributor is working properly. There's a red wire by the brake booster that you can touch the fuse link bar and it will prove out the fuel pump circuit.
