Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: 1983 Buick wont start, buick park avenue, test light

Question
I have a 1983 Buick Park Avenue with a 307 4BL engine. I started it today and drove down the road. It was very sluggish, which isn't usual. I killed it and tried to start it an hour later and it would turn over but acted like it wasn't getting fire. It is getting gas. I thought the coil might have went out. Isn't there a way to check? What else should I check? Thanks.
