Won't start Problems

Post by eatcrispycreme2 »

Parked the car for 3 days and now I come back and it won't start. Tried to spray starter fluid in-no help. Checked the spark plugs and there seems to be no spark. Should I just start by replacing the distributor or is there any other troubleshooting I can do? Thanks in advance
