What aren't you getting? Are you getting spark? Are you getting fuel? Hear the fuel pump when you turn the key?

Have you tried replacing the coil yet? If there's any way you can test to see if the coil is getting "instructions" to fire from the ECM, usually a cheap volt/ohm meter will do the trick...all it's gotta show is some kinda voltage deflection whilst you're cranking the pickup.

Even a test light would work.
