You can test for fuel initially by squirting some starting fluid into the air cleaner (don't overdo it)
If the car starts momentarily, then you have a fuel delivery problem---fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, no signal to fuel pump, etc
If it doesn't start with the fluid, then buy yourself a simple spark tester and follow directions.
If no spark, then pull codes on the car and see what's been recorded.
If you have fuel and you have good spark, then buy yourself a NOID light and test for injector pulse (again after pulling codes).
