Start up troubles

I drove my 91 RS the other day and then pulled it in the driveway for about 3 hours until i had to go to work. When went out, the car would crank , but would not start up. There have not been and there wasnt any problems with the car up until that time, so we looked and there are no sparks emitting from the plug wires. We replaced the distributer cap and the roater button, still no start up. We then replaced the ignition module, still no start up. My question is, what else do we have to look for? Ignition coils? Sensors?

Sucks you dumped all that cash on non-returnable electrical items! Been there done that!! If your certain it's a spark problem and you checked for that properly, have the coil tested also the pickup coil. It sounds like the distributor is going to have to come out.

Are you sure the fuel pump is good? Test the fuel pressure. When my fuel pump went bad the the T/A it was crank and not start.
