honestly there are a heap of things that could be wrong but with these the 2 main common things are coils and ignition moduel pull off one of the leads and check if its got spark if not try find a mate that has the same engine in his car and lend his moduel and see if that works if not try the coil if there is spark maybe the fuel pump good luck with it

1 Grab the fuel hoses at the back of the injector rail, as you turn on the ignition (without actually starting it) you should be able to feel the fuel in the lines and hear the fuel pump priming. If not, it is probably fuel pump related (either fuel pump, relay or fuse). Check the relay and fuses, try thumping the in-tank fuel pump to see if you can jolt it into moving again.
2 Check for injector pulse - can you hear the injectors "ticking" as you turn it over? If no, then could be (in order of likelihood) - ignition module on inside left guard, - sensor in distributor, - ignition coil, - ECU.
3 If you just have no spark, check your main fusible links and relays, could also be a dud rotor, distributor cap or ignition coil.
4 Call your local Roadside Assist! Unless anyone else can add this.
Good luck!
