        Check the cap to see if it is damp inside and check the contacts for corrosion.Make sure the coil wire going into cap is clean and tight.Those are the most common place to start for me.When cap is off take a look at the dist. rotor. If that doesn't do it check spark plugs and then wires.

                  You could check engine management fusible link bank under the hood.Bank of 3 on drivers side shock tower.Engine management is the one closest to passengers side.It doesn't sound like it is that but it is easy to check with a test light to see if you have power there.

                        Take out the spark plugs and put one teaspoon only of gas in each cylinder and the put the spark plugs back in and try it again.. you can use an eye dropper or something a tiny amount in each cylinder
