Check for spark and fuel at spark plugs. Check the fuel pump fuse and use a voltmeter to check you are getting power to the pump. Also check the imoboliser is coming off !

Check the inertia fuel cut off switch is not tripped.. It is located behind the centre console (gear lever/radio) on most models !
