I was told to replace the distributor and check the fuses. Also to check the wiring from the distributor to the alrenator. Where is all this stuff at and how do I check it> The car just stopped and sounds like it is going to start but won't. Thanks
 
First thing to do is to remove the distributor cap and make sure the rotor is in place, the cap is not cracked, or corroded.

Another trick to check spark is to stick a screwdriver into a plug boot and hold it close to a metal (unpainted) area on the engine while someone cranks the engine. Don't get shocked!

Also, there should be a coil that goes to the distributor. Make sure it is good. Sometimes the wiring inside will burn up. A 16 yo car could use a new cap. rotor, plug wires, fuel filter, and some TLC. www.alldatadiy.com is an excellent source of info.
