first thing you should always do is check for bright blue sparks at the #1 spark plug and fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

Yep, this can be many things but we just had one of these cars in the shop and it was the ignition module that went out, once we installed new one the engine fired right up. Please go over this video so you can be sure, and I have included the ignition module location is the images below.
