Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand auto stores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage, if you don't have one.
To check for spark at the plugs, pull a plug wire, stick known good plug or spark tester in the boot, ground metal part of plug/tester to metal part of engine, engine cranking, watch for spark. Also, you should be able to check for applicable mil codes. Cycle the key, on--off, on--off, on, the mil starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. Your looking for two digit codes. To cycle the key, turn it just till the dash lites come on, no further.
