    Fuel delivery problem, I'd check the main relay like hondamanlxi said.
    Either that or you're pump died or the filter plugged
    Good luck man

    Could always be a starter problem. Try push-starting your car.

    Is the starter turning? Did you check the timing belt? You can pop off the distributor cap, and while someone is trying to start it see if the rotor spins.

    I had somewhat of a similiar problem recently with 88 LX-i. Found out the rotor button was bad. Remember the basics-- two things you must have in order for a combustion motor to run-fuel and fire. Check that you have fuel going to the fuel rail, check that you have fire coming out of the coil and also coming out of the distributer. See what happens there and post your results.
