No, I just didn't see it until you bumped it.
The distribution block tells the spark plugs when to spark.
In order to start your car you need three things mainly.
Fuel
Spark
Compression

Test for spark by pulling the plug wires and grounding them to the frame. Watch for spark. No spark, replace your distributer and rotor.
Test for fuel by cracking a fuel line, holding it in a bucket and cranking the engine. You will see fuel pour into the bucket if your pump is pumping fuel. Your injectors could be clogged also. Take them to get cleaned and balanced.
Test for compression via the www.vfaq.com

the ecu tells the injectors to open. if your injectors aren't opening it is defiantly your ecu which happens to all dsm at some point in time.
