If you pop off the valve cover you can check the timing that way you dont have to remove the front cover.Check the timing and let me know what you find.Also those cars are known for bad coolant temp sensor and those cause no starts.Also the connectors to them get corroded as well and have to be replaced.Let me know what you find and we will go from there.
