Do not append your problem to others problems. It confuses everyone. The way to help is to initiate your own thread. Read the posting rules.

Suggest removing distributor cap, drying w/ hair dryer, and spraying a generous dose of WD40 on the interior of distributor. Same for spark plug leads.

Check that you are getting 12V to the Blk/Yel wire at the distributor electrical connection.

Turn keyswitch to On and listen carefully for fuel pump (in fuel tank) to run for 2-3 secs and go off.

report what you find.

good luck

By "fire" to the starter, I'm assuming that you are not getting 12v to the small wire on the starter. If the moonroof was open, you might also want to "dry" the gear position switch.....the car has to know it is in P or N before power will be sent to the starter.
