Are you getting spark and are you getting fuel you can see by spraying crab cleaner in the throttle body if it turns on for a little while your getting spark but no fuel if not your probly not getting spark.

I started it and move up from the street to the driveway it started fine. I loaded some stuff into the car went to leave and it would not start. I have changed the distributor cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires.
P.S. That was the first start of the day. thank you for all the help in advance. triing to find me a second body to help check for spark. I am pretty sure that i am getting gas. it was parked over night before this happend. every now and then it would idle a little rough until it warmed up then it would run fine. I just figured it was because it was cold but now i am starting to wonder. thanks again for the help in advance.

Spray starting fluid into the T.B.I. unit and crank it over. If it starts, you have probably lost the fuel pump. If it doesn't start, check the wiring going to the ignition module to make sure it isn't frayed, rotted, ect. If that all checks out, have a buddy crank it while you check for spark. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say that I suspect your ignition module has gave up the ghost, but it's better to chase it backwards rather than throw money at parts you don't need.
