first i would check and see if you are getting spark from the coil , if you have no spark from the coil check the connector for power , if you have power both ways you may need to look at the crank sensor , but start with the basics ,

Check for spark at the ignition coil. If there is no spark, verify power at the coil connector. If power is present, inspect the crankshaft position sensor, starting with basic ignition checks.
