'91 2.2L TBI No Start Problem

My '91 Cavalier was overheating and was getting harder and harder to start. I've already fixed the overheating issue, but now it won't start at all. It just cranks and cranks but never turns over. It's getting fuel and I've replaced the spark plugs and wires, but still no luck. I was looking toward the coil packs next but wanted to get some other opinions before I spent any more money on anything. Thanks in advance.

well if u r sure there is fuel in the lines then go for sparks

good thing u changed spark plugs and wires

now make sure spark is present

u can check for codes in the ecm if there r any

to make sure no sensor is bad too

try disconnecting 1 wire and crank it to make sure there is spark
