There are a number of things that we need to check. Starting with seeing if it starts by spraying some starter fluid in the intake. If it does then you have a fuel delivery issue. It could just be a fuse or relay or the pump but we need to try to limit this down to one of the possible causes.

You need fuel, ignition at the correct time, and compression. Let's start with checking for fuel because it is the most likely and easiest.

Let me know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks
