Starter is not the issue then.
If the engine cranks but will not start it could be a spark related or fuel related issue.
You need to check if you have proper spark from your ignition system.
Pull off a spark plug wire and crank the engine to see if it is sparking. If it is, then the spark should jump a large gap and be bright blue in color( not orange). If it is an orange spark it is not hot enough to ignite the fuel . Replace plugs and wires if this is the case
If spark is ok , check fuel pressure with proper gauge.
There should be a shrader valve on your fuel line going to the fuel rail or on the fuel rail itself which contains a plastic cap on it.
Remove the plastic cap and push down the shrader valve with a pen. If no fuel comes out then you probably have a fuel issue.
Post your results of the tests and I will follow up.
