This may sound daft but are both your leads attached securely to the battery? That kind of happened to mine when the earth lead wasn't tightened properly

also could be a crankshaft, or a camshaft position sensor . with out a signal from them it tell the ecu it is not in tdc and to shut off the spark.
It could be a few things check all of your plug wires are secure. Check the distributor cap and rotor they may need replaced.
Hey,

I would say start with the easy first... check your spark plug cables, check your spark plugs, check for signs that there is fuel in the chambers. those are some basics there are more but i cant think of it atm.
well thanks guys for the tips..i'll see what happens..
