Get someone to help you, or use a remote starter button to test while under the hood. Key on/engine off, you should hear fuel pump for a few seconds. Easy way to see IF you have fuel is to press the schrader valve in the fuel rail and see if it shoots fuel (use a rag). To test injectors for firing, you will need a NOID light. DO NOT USE A TESTLIGHT to test them. Pull an injector plug off and put the NOID light in place, crank engine and it should flash.  Each one should flash, testing each independently. If not, you have issues.Next is to pull the coil wire off the distributor cap and have someone crank the engine, while holding the wire about 1/2" from the block/manifold (ground). It should spark. If so, next is to test a plug wire. Put the coil wire back in the cap, pull a plug wire off (any one of them), put a phillips head screwdriver #2 in the wire boot and hold about 1/2" off block/head/manifold (ground) and crank the engine. It should spark and if so, may start so be ready to shut off the engine.So many things to test, but those are basic starters. Of course, this is assuming you still have the stock ECU/TFI setup. Sometimes (mostly) it's a bad TFI unit, but not always.</blockquote>
