Check engine light has always come on and off for the last 4 years.....its because of the exhaust....I can't afford to have a shop check the codes I gotta do this myself....and I gotta work Tuesday

If you have a few min do this!
https://www.thirdgen.org/service-eng...ht-error-codes
You can check the codes yourself and see whats going on in there. All you need is a good metal paper clip

Other common failures: pickup coil in distributor, ignition coil, the 2-wire pigtail that runs between the coil and the ICM.

i'd say start simple. take the air inlet tube off of the intake and spray some starting fluid in to see if she fires up. if she does then its a fuel issue. if she doesn't fire up check for spark. if those two are fine check timing.
