1992 Grand Am Won't Start

I have a 1992 Pontiac Grand Am, SE, 2.3L , 4cyl, OHC. A couple days ago while driving, my car suddenly stalled and the service engine light came on. After waiting a few minutes I tried to start it again and it worked. This happened again two more times. This morning, when going to start the car, it started for 2 seconds then died. Now, when I try to start it, it cranks, but will not start. I have tried replacing the fuel filter and the spark plugs, but it still won't start. While I had the fuel filter off, I turned the key (to make sure the fuel pump was working) and it pumped fuel fine.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks

Well, you either have no fuel, no spark, or no compression. The latter is unlikely if you got it to start again after it died. Therefore, either fuel or spark. The logical next step would be to check for spark - unfortunately that's not that simple on a Quad 4 with no spark plug wires..
