We don't have them.

Have you checked fuel pressure?

Doesn't have one. The distributor sends reference pulses out to the computer when the engine cranks.

Might want to try starting fluid now to see if its a fuel problem. Anything done to the car recently? Has it been sitting?

all you need is spark, fuel, and compression. you have spark right? did you check it with a spark checker or an old plug, big differance. you may not be rich at all but have a spark problem. check the FP, injectors, and anything else related to fuel system. maybe stuck or dirty injector
