Do below:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Introduce fuel into the intake manifold using a 1/8" small hose connected from a gas can to the brake booter hose. Be careful not to allow an adapter to get sucked inside the hose which could damage the engine. Or use cab spray cleaner and spray it on to the small hose while some is cranking the engine. If it starts up then it is a fuel problem.
