Multiple misfire condition, and a no start, on the ignition coil have someone crank the engine listen for any arcing noise

that coil tends to short ignition to ground, then there the distributor cap the number 2 and the 7 in the distributor cap tends to short together causing a misfire condition, then there the distributor itself in the distributor is the camshaft sensor, there a reluctor on the top, that tends to move out of position .if the reluctor moved out of position you replace the distributor.

 here the distributor at the top is the reluctor this fires the camshaft sensor which trigger which injector to turn on. if that top reluctor just free spins you need a distributor
