Good afternoon.

How long since you had the plugs wires, cap and rotor replaced?

I would start with basics for the ignition system.

Is the check engine light on?

Okay, the next possibility is the crank sensor. It is located on the bell housing of the transmission on the drivers side at the top. The harness comes in to the engine area behind the distributor. It will kill the spark signal if it is bad. Also, a common issue.

If you have small hands, you can get it from the top.

I do not, so I get it from the bottom. One bolt and the connector. You can get it at any parts store.
