You need to start by checking fuel pump pressure and if you are getting spark to the plugs. After that is done, you can focus on one system.

An easy way to check is to try starting the engine with starting fluid. If it starts for a few seconds, the problem is fuel related. If it doesn't, my guess is there is no spark.

Suspect the crank sensor. check that to see if it is good. You will most likely have to take it to a parts store.
