My Matiz SE 1998 engine turns but doesn't fire?

I have recently had to change the gear cables on my matiz, this is now all ok, and the engine started as usual. However the following morning the car engine wont start. it is turning over but will not fire. Can you think of a reason why after leaving it overnight it will not start? I have checked the fuel reset button and this is ok, please help i'm stumped!!!

Remove sparkplug one at a time with the lead covers still atached, then use plastic covered plyers on handle, place each plug against any metal on car within 3mm & have somebody turn the engine over & check spark is firing between plug & metal of car. Check all. If all plugs sparking check distrubator cap if not problem.Take to garage, If fuel filter is not clogged. Good luck
