It's not that easy. I would start by checking for spark. Pull a plug wire AND a plug, ground the plug and crank the motor. If there is no spark it might be the distributor, but it could also be many other things as well (cap, rotor, coil...). Make sure you know what the problem is before you go and start replacing things. If there is spark, check fuel pump operation. The easiest way to check is to pull off the fuel line at the fuel filter(relieve fuel pressure first), put the line in a small container and turn the key on. If you get gas then the pump and filter are good. If no gas then check and see of the pump is getting a signal, if it is then the pump is no good. If it is not, then start by checking the fuses, fuel pump relay and the ECU. That's where I would start.
