So have u checked for spark?The best way to check for that is to remove two spark plug wires off the coils that are next to each other and have someone crank it over and watch for arching between the posts. Let me know what u find.

Ok no spark now were getting somewhere do u have a volt ohm meter if u do we can check ur crank sensor that's what I think is wrong with ur car since u don't have spark. If u have a volt ohmeter u can take out ur crank sensor and tested across the the two terminals it should read 800-1200 ohms when they go bad they read open no ohms value. Let me know what u find.
