Yep we got to see if it is the fuel pump or ignition system, try to start the car on starting fluid and if there is no change let's check for spark this video will show you how,

If there is no spark chances are the distributor has gone out but I need to ask does the engine sound funny when you are cranking it over? If so the timing belt has let go, here is how to check and replace it. Check out the images (below). Let us know what you find.
