All it'll do is crank. It was running a few days ago and one day it just didn't start. I've replaced coil. What could it be?

I would start by checking to see if the plugs are firing and if the fuel pump is pumping.

Unfortunately, pretty common. Plugs and fuel pump good place to start. On '86 and up, DME relay is another probable cause. Not sure if there is an equivalent on the '85's.

Good luck

Unplug one injector, if it starts replace your fuel pressure regulator.
