Make sure you have a good fully charged battery, check battery voltage, it should be minimum 12.4.If battery is ok, spray some quick start in the throttle body to see if it'll start for a bit. This will determine if it's fuel related.

You need to narrow down the problem. Start by doing what I initially mentioned, spraying some quick start in the throttle body and see what happens.

Ok. Now check for spark while cranking engine. If no spark, remove distributor cap and see if rotor turns while someone cranks it
