Here is what you need to start a car:
1. fuel
2. spark
3. air
4. compression.
Find which one you dont have, and go from there. It sounds like you have no spark at the distributor? Make sure the connectors are in all the way. I would test the fuel pressure just for the hell off it.
If I remember correctly, the ecu sends a .5 volt signal to ignition coil (I may be way off on this, verify first) and if that signal is not there, then yes you may have "let the smoke out of your computer".
