You're going to need to give a *lot* more details before anyone can offer you any advice.

When you turn the ignition switch from "off" to "run" (not to "crank") do you hear the fuel pump spin up for a few seconds?

Have you checked for spark?

Have you pulled codes?

It sounds like it could be a bad distributor among other things, I would check for spark and get the codes to .

i agree... if u have a new fuel pump, i would check the distributor next... its pretty easy to take off, only 3 bolts, if i remember correctly, check for corrosion on the tips of the little metal things on the cap, also the ignition coil is in the distributor and u can have it checked for free at autozone, make sure the spark plug wires connect to the correct slots in the distributor 2
