Excellent suggestions from the above-mentioned seasoned veterans. Razorback1980 should have added AIR to the formula, however. How many miles are on the car? When the fuel pump dies, you may get lights on the dash, electricity and even turn over from the starter, crank, engine and all that. However, no fuel pump and your dead in the water. The fuel and spark testing techniques are a great place to start. I have seen broken rotors (as in under-the-distributer-cap-rotor)...A vacuum leak will make the car run when accelerating, but would not run on idle. Good luck
