Default 98 not starting. Done everything I can think of!

So Sunday, I drive to work and the car is running fine - just like every time I drive it. I get out of work, the engine won't start. I've tried the battery, starter, ignition, fuses, spark plugs, timing, even the fluid levels, and nothing checks out.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you confirmed that spark plugs are firing? How?

Suggest using some starter fluid or throttle body cleaner sprayed into the intake duct (5-10 sec spray). Attempt to start.

If it starts, runs briefly, and quits fuel delivery is the problem. Main fuel relay or fuel pump.

If it does not start, ignition is problem. Ignition keyswitch, ignitor, coil, rotor, distributor cap.

good luck
