Next step is to check if you get spark. Your manual should have instruction on how to do that. You also need to test your camshaft and crankshaft position sensors in the process. With that kind of mileage, I would also check the EGR valve.

If all these are good, remove your upper timing belt cover, to see if your timing belt is still intact or has jumped time.
