My money is on a disty, mine died like that, out of the blue with no prior poor performance. ('93LS V-6 w/150K mi) The engine would crank strong but never even try to really kick. I would check for spark with a cheap tester or just by holding a wire close to the block and having someone crank it. To see if its really dead put one wire in mouth and one hand on block. Before replacement, my spark was erratic and a weak yellow, barely visible. After it was a blue color.

The replacement was not too hard (some of the bolts are a little hard to get to if you don't take off the air filter box, etc.) but unlike some others here I did have to set my idle and timing afterwards to smooth it out.

Good luck.
