Check the fuse. It may have blown. Check the fuse for the fuel injection and for the fuel pump, as well.
Next, check to make sure that with all the fuses replaced and in good condition, the engine turns over, you get spark and fuel. Next, check the timing to make sure that spark is getting to the cylinders at the correct time.
