Hi Jeff,

What you will need to do it check and make sure the is fire (spark) to the plugs. To check have a philips screw drive handy, pull a plug wire off of a plug stick the crew driver in were the plug would go and hold it about a 1/2" away from a good ground and have someone try to start the vehicle. If there is spark it should be a Bright Bluish/White.

If spark checks good then will need to check fuel pressure. Check link below for video on checking fuel pressure...
