When you first turn the key on, no crank, can you hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. then, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. Can you check for applicable trouble codes? To check codes yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader.
