I hate to be the first guy to say it, but if it's not the coil it's probably the opti. Had this happen a couple of times on mine. Has it been rainy lately? I know mine would get wet on the inside and I could pull the vent tubes and blow air into it to dry it out and it would fire right up.

If it turns over it isn't the starter.

I'd pull your coil wire, have someone crank it over and see if it's getting spark. If it's not I would suspect a bad coil or a bad ICM. It's possible it's the opti as well, but doing the coil/icm are extremely easy, not very expensive and probably need to be changed anyway.

I had a similar problem, it would give me more trouble in the winter though. I got an msd box and it seemed to fix it. I would change the oil though, some gas might have gotten in from repeatedly trying to start it. Good luck
