Replaced distributor cap? Although it could be several things, it sure sounds like a classic case of plug wires crossed.

I would pull a plug and see what it looks like .then with the plug out turn over the motor and see if you have a strong spark .if that is good then take off the air cleaner and check to see if you have gas coming out of the injectors.if not or very little add a little gas and turn over the motor.if it runs but you don't see much gas coming from the injectors ......your fuel pump is bad or the fuse is bad .check that fuel pump is running and re check plug wires.

Pulled plug have consistent steady spark when turning over put on new dist cap also guess my timing light must not be reading correct and going to recheck timing when new light comes in
