Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. You can use a known good spark plug or spark tester. Pull a spark plug wire, stick the tester in the boot. Ground metal part of tester to metal part of engine. Engine cranking watch for spark. If that checks out, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage, if you don't have one? If your still fully obd1 compliant, you can check for applicable mil codes.

You might disable injectors when testing for spark, so you don't flood anything.
