Rebuild. It's very likely it has shitty compression. Regardless, with that many miles, you might as well rebuild it.

Have you done any real troubleshooting at all? For example, have you checked for fuel, spark, compression? It may just be flooded...

Bah. Ok, ok...

Take your spark plugs out and put them near a ground. Turn the car over. Do they spark? Hopefully.

Take off your coolant fill cap, fill up the coolant, and take out the EGI fuse then crank the car over. Does it bubble a lot? Hopefully not.

Hopefully it's not under 90.
