spray some starting fluid into the air filter and see if it tries to start.

you need to check the fuel pressure, remove one of the coils and put a plug on the end and see if it sparks.

you need to check for power to the pump. the inertia switch is in the right front kick panel. current will last 2 seconds when the key is on. verify that power.

check the fuses with a test light to verify all powers to the pcm.
