Welcome to 2CarPros.
If the starter engages and the engine refuses to start, it usually is either a fuel related issue or ignition. First, take a look through this link. It explains the most common causes of a crank/no start condition.

Now what we have to do is check for spark and fuel to the engine. There are two ways to do this. First, and easiest, is to see if the engine will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, it's a fuel related issue. If it won't even try to start with starting fluid, most likely it is ignition related.
If you feel uncomfortable using starting fluid, here are two links that explain how to check for ignition spark and fuel pressure:

Here are directions specific to checking fuel pressure on your vehicle. The attached pictures correlate with the directions, provide the manufacturer's pressure specifications, and tell what to check based on different conditions.

FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM
Fuel Pressure Test
1. PREPARING
1. Open the service cover under the floor carpet.
2. RELEASE THE INTERNAL PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
2. Start the engine and wait until fuel in fuel line is exhausted.
3. After the engine stalls, turn the ignition switch to OFF position and disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery.
Note: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel feed hose, otherwise fuel will spill out

3. INSTALL THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (SST) FOR MEASURING THE FUEL PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the fuel feed hose from the delivery pipe.
Caution: Cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent splashing of fuel caused by residual pressure in the fuel line.
2. Install the Fuel Pressure Gage Adapter (09353-38000) between the delivery pipe and the fuel feed hose.
3. Connect the Fuel Pressure Gage Connector (09353-24000) to the Fuel Pressure Gage Adapter (09353-38000).
4. Connect the Fuel Pressure Gage and Hose (09353 41 00) to Fuel Pressure Gage Connector (09353-24000).
5. Connect the fuel feed hose to the Fuel Pressure Gage Adapter (09353-38000).
4. INSPECT FUEL LEAKAGE ON CONNECTION
1. Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Apply battery voltage to the fuel pump terminal and activate the fuel pump. With fuel pressure applied, check that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure gauge or connection part.
5. FUEL PRESURE TEST
1. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery.
2. Connect the fuel pump connector.
3. Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.
4. Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Standard Value: 343 Kpa (3.5 kgf/cm cm, 49.8 psi)
Incorrect Pressure

If the measured fuel pressure differs from the standard value, perform the necessary repairs using the table below.
Pressure Drops

5. Stop the engine and check for a change in the fuel pressure gauge reading.
After engine stops, the gage reading should hold for about 5 minutes
Observing the declination of the fuel pressure when the gage reading drops and perform the necessary repairs using the table below.
6. RELEASE THE INTERNAL PRESSURE
1. Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
2. Start the engine and wait until fuel in fuel line is exhausted.
3. After the engine stalls, turn the ignition switch to OFF position and disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery.
Note: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before dIsconnecting the fuel feed hose, otherwise fuel will spill out.

7. REMOVE THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (SST) AND CONNECT THE FUEL LINE
1. Disconnect the Fuel Pressure Gage and Hose (09353-24100) from the Fuel Pressure Gage Connector (09353-24000).
2. Disconnect the Fuel Pressure Gage Connector (09353-24000) from the Fuel Pressure Gage Adapter (09353-38000).
3. Disconnect the fuel feed hose from the Fuel Pressure Gage Adapter (09353-38000).
4. Disconnect the Fuel Pressure Gage Adapter (09353-38000) from the delivery pipe.
Caution: Cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent splashing of fuel caused by residual pressure in the fuel line.
5. Connect the fuel feed hose to the delivery pipe.
8. INSPECT FUEL LEAKAGE ON CONNECTION
1. Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Apply battery voltage to the fuel pump terminal and activate the fuel pump. With fuel pressure applied, check that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure gauge or connection part.
3. If the vehicle is normal, connect the fuel pump connector.

I realize you may not have a fuel pressure gauge, but most parts stores will lend or rent one to you.
Let me know what you find or if you have other directions.
Take care,
