check for spark first.
i dont remember how the engine is on it but if it has seperate coils then just take off the coils, put in a spark plug into the coil and ground the tip of the spark plug to something metal on the engine. have somebody go inside and crank it, if you see spark, then that pack is working. you can then try all the others.
if they all spark then you have either a timing issue or a fuel issue. cranksensor might not send a signal everytime because its bad or the fuel injectors are leaking flooding the engine and fouling up the spark plug so it wont spark. do a compression test also, because if its really flooded, the fuel will dilute the oil around the piston oil rings and wont hold compression. if compression is low try adding a teaspoon of oil in each spark plug hole, crank it a few times and retest for compression.
