the coil, or your distributor cap, at least thats what happend to mine, go to a mechanic and see if you can borrow a coil tester, and get him to help explain how it works, if you have spark there its your cap, if not, id try and change your coil

there is a purge valve on the fuel line on the right side while looking right at the engine, it has a cap on it like the tire caps. Purge it with a screw driver and make sure you shop towels around it so it wont burst out in your face, if it has air it will clear it out. Afterwards while inside the cabin turn the key a couple of times before you start it. It should work. HIT ME BACK IF IT WORK.

You aren't by any chance running an MSD system are you? If so, it may have blown a fuse, the one protecting the MSD box. This happened one time on my Jeep.
