If the cranking sounds normal, then it's not the starter.

Could be a broken rotor, distributor cap, wire, plugs. Something with the ignition. Could also be a faulty fuel, oxygen, or other sensor.

You got fuel?? I know it sounds stupid, but it happens.
Your timing belt could have some stripped teeth, not likely but I've seen that happen before.

Check inside distributor cap for mosture ,also make sure the plug on the VAF is plugged in .Check fuel pump fuse .Check fuel cap is on tight . These are a few that have happened to me when I owned my 92 DX
