There are two easy answers spark which is fire to the plugs and wires...and fuel which is needed to burn and run the engine so check the fuel pump and filter then if all else fails it's a sensor malfunction

Check the ground on the fuel pump to chassis first then check the ground for fire which is engine,distributor,coil or coilpack ground depending on the vehicle and don't forget the ignition switch could be bad and show no pcm codes
