Does the fuel pump prime (listen for low humming sound for 2 seconds in rear when key is turned to ON position II)?

Does the distributor connector have battery voltage when the key is turned to ON position II?

Is the CEL ON?

The engine does turn when you try to start it?

Also take the oil cap off and look inside while someone cranks the engine. Watch for the rocker arms to move. If the crankshaft turns but the valves don't move, the timing belt is bad. This will cause no sparks because the distributor doesn't turn either.
