The 1.8s don't have trigger points, however.

Eric, are you sure that you are not getting any fuel? Try a fuel pressure gauge in the high-pressure loop (between the pump and the fuel pressure regulator). If it drops to 0 PSI, you'll know you're not getting fuel.

Check the grounds on the engine, and all of the electrical connections. Also check for vacuum leaks.

The above assumes your valves are adjusted correctly, the engine has decent compression (check both!), and the ignition system is in good working condition. If those are not true, check all of those bits before you start chasing FI problems.
