Go back to the basics: are you getting spark? if not then start there, if you are, then ask and find out if you are getting fuel. If you are getting both, then you need to determine if the timing is close enough to run, or if you have compression.

The OVP could be the problem. It is located behind the black plastic shroud behind the battery and is very easy to replace. All you need is a flat blade screwdriver IIRC
When my OVP went bad my car had all kinds of weird problems...
