Are you sure tht your battery has enough charge in it to turn the engine over fast enough.It may be low on charge.Have you checked for voltage drop when cranking your car??If it drops below 10volts i would seriously consider the battery isnt keeping up the charge to provide when cranking the enigne to start.

i had a no start issue on my 3.9. It was the coil. I think it f**k the ignition pulse or some s**t.

They are known to just die. Age and wear get the better of them. Considering your cars age, it wouldn't be a bad idea to change it any way to avoid be stranded on the side of the road

if your not sure whether its the fuel pressure reg, crimp the return line and try to start it. i don't recommend you do this for a lengthy period though.

another thing to do, as has been suggested, is crank it and spray some aero start down the throttle body while cranking. if it runs, it's fuel related. if not, it's more than likely spark.
is the spark really strong, or is it weak?
