Welcome, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. Also, they used to check for possible trouble codes, free.

To check for spark, you can pull a plug wire, stick known good spark plug or spark tester in the boot, ground metal part to metal part of engine. Engine cranking, watch for spark.
