I have a n it's not turning on. it cranks but doesn't turn on. what can it be? how can i fix it?

I have a 300zx 1986 n it's not turning on. It cranks but doesn't turn on. Im thinking it's got to do with the ignition coil not releasing current to the distributor. Could it be the distributor itself, crank angle sensor in distributor, the rotor, or the cap attaching the high tention cables to spark plugs? Now both the cap and rotor have been replaced but car still doesn't turn on. Any suggestions?

thanks

You must first check to see if you have spark at the plugs, injection pulse and fuel pressure, a scan if you can do that as well to check for any unresolved fault codes will be a big help in the diagnosis, start here and report back your findings.
