Check the coil packs. They don't like to be overheated! Hope that helps! Jim

Spray a little starting fluid down the throttle body. It should run a few seconds on that. If not and you know for sure you have spark, do a compression test. If all cylinders test very low or zero it's jumped timing. Hope that helps! Jim
