Hi:
Like billymac said, either you are missing spark or fuel unless there is a timing problem. Check to see if the spark plugs are getting spark. Also, you should check for fuel pressure. The pump may have gone bad. check out this video if you need to know how to do it.

Also, many parts stores will lend or rent the gauge if you need one.

Let me know what you find.
