A bad magnetic pickup will cause the issue. It is in your distributor.

Do you have spark? Chevman24 is right but I would lean more torwards the igntion module but both of these parts will have similiar symtoms when they fail.

Do you have spark?!? Does the check engine light come on with the key on, engine off?!? The ECM needs power and gound to work and the reference signal from the ignition module to turn the injectors on/off. Did you check the fuses?!? The best thing you can get for this is a good repair manual with wiring diagrams and trouble-shooting charts and go from there.

Does the motor start if you pour a little fuel in the throttle body?
